Quite likely, the easiest way would be to work with two scripts.  One
to convert a git tree into a quilt series and another to convert the
quilt series back into a git tree.

Advantage of quilt is the ease with which one can cherry-pick patches,
change patches or descriptions, reorder patches, rebase them for a new
kernel, etc.

I believe tglx (added to Cc:) has some scripts like that.  And since
many kernel hacker have similar needs, google should find even more.

[ Note to self: I need them as well. ]
