Me too!

Would a tag help you?  I.e. create a tag that depends on (just) all
the wanted patches and their dependencies.  I'm not sure how general
the tag mechanism is, but it would perhaps be nice if it was possible
to specify an exact set of patches (i.e. a subset of all patches in
the repo) to constitute a tag.  

Currently, I think you need to init a new repo, pull the desired
patches, tag, and push back the tag.

Sounds reasonable.
