The first patch in series can be automatically generated e.g. using
the following Perl script.  I have succesfully rebased this series on
top of current 'master' using it (checkout + script + commit), see
't/doc-config-extraction' branch in my clone of git repo:
  http://repo.or.cz/w/git/jnareb-git.git (can't push currently here)
  http://github.com/jnareb/git

Though that doesn't help with issues with second patch in this series,
which were discussed on git mailing list when sending it.
