I can't see how they are a good alternative. With patch queues, I can maintain

This is far easier to achieve in git than with mq.
Can you describe your "patch queue"-like workflow using git? git rebase
-i lets you reorder commits, but how do you quickly do the equivalent of
hg qpopping and qpushing a bunch of commits?
I've investigated git tools like StGit and and TopGit, but they are
pretty heavyweight and get confused if you tweak your git branches
without using their porcelain scripts.
