Both the patches are named 01. Their names tell the order in which
they need to be applied, so it's ok for these patches. But creating
such patches using git format-patch (with -v as some suggest) really
helps in general. All you need to do is prepare commits in your
repository, one per patch, including changes in each patch in separate
commits and then run git format-patch on that repository. I use git
format-patch @{upstream}, but there are other ways also. Then you can
use git rebase to rebase your patches periodically. If you are already
doing that, sorry for the noise.
