The [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/MqExtension Mq extension] sorta helps with trying to hold and use several patches at once.  I'm sure the git equivalent (there was one) works well too, as well as quilt etc.  I didn't use it with git because just having a bunch of branches there worked well  enough (a bit more overhead, but I get revision history of patches); with hg that'd require a bunch of repo clones as far as I can tell.
