Ok, good point.  I see there is a separate "dim rebuild-top" command, so
that should be doable no matter how I actually apply the patches.

Trying to run dim throws errors at me though:

kraxel@nilsson ~/tmp/maintainer-tools (maintainer-tools)# ./dim help
./dim: line 1602: declare: -n: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-aAfFgilrtux] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
kraxel@nilsson ~/tmp/maintainer-tools (maintainer-tools)# bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.46(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

The patches tool prepares a mbox file, then runs "git am".  Shouldn't be
that hard to make it configurable ...

Ok.
