Oh, good.  It's not just me, then! ;-)

This is more or less exactly how I built the various patches I submitted here. The main difference is that I used StGIT because I'm less competent than Junio and didn't always manage to get all my changes in the right places to begin with.

(I really look forward to a StGIT which can withstand git-prune.)
