[aur-dev] Git workflow

Is there a suggested workflow for working with AUR git repo? Suppose I
do the following:

$ git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git
# code/test feature A
$ git commit -a # commit feature A to my local branch
$ git format-patch origin # create a patch with feature A
# send patch with feature A to origin, patch applied to origin with git am

Now branches look like this:

---o---o---A'   origin/master
        \
         \---A  local/master

I do a `git pull` from my local branch and get:

---o---o---A'---    origin/master
        \       \
         \---A---M  local/master

I then work on feature B and commit it to my local branch:

---o---o---A'---                origin/master
        \       \
         \---A---M---o---B      local/master

Then I do `git format-patch origin` and get two patches, both for A
and B, even though A is already in origin as A'.

Is there a better way to do this?

Best,
Denis.
