Develop a patch series with git?

["Steve Keller" <keller.steve@gmx.de>]

I wonder how git supports developing a series of small patches.  In my
usual development I go back and forth along a series of patches before
I can commit them all.  I use quilt for that.

Say I want to add feature FOO and start a patch "FOO" editing some
source file.  In the process of doing so I realize that I need an
extension of some function to base my patch on, so I do "quilt pop" to
undo patch FOO and insert a new patch BAR and then re-apply FOO by
calling quilt push.  No I can use the new extension from BAR in my
current patch FOO.  The patch series often contains quite a number of
patches and I push, pop, and edit these patches quite often.  Only
when everything is done I use git commit all the patches into the
repository.

My question is whether there is git functionality to replace quilt.
Or is the combination of quilt and git common?
