Not sure exactly what you're trying to do here, but since the PM
branch probably makes up most of those patches, why do you need to
apply them?  Can't you just checkout the pm branch and add the other
patches on top?  e.g.

Create a test branch for your work in progress which is rooted at the
pm branch:

$ git checkout -b wip/test pm

Apply your other patches (dss2, etc.)

$ git am <patches>
