Yes, I read those pages, initially.  I guess much of it didn't sink in 
at the time because I haven't been using this process to update patches, 
as suggested by the super quick git guide:

git rebase -i <sha1 from above>
(edit the text file that appears so 'edit' appears next to the commit you wish to modify)
(edit the required files)
git add -u
git commit --amend
git rebase --continue


To be honest, this isn't a whole lot better in terms of number of git 
commands to run, or things to screw up, as my "create new branch, merge 
changes in one at a time, fix, and recommit them" process, but if it's 
the standard way, then I'll do it.

The hard parts of getting all of the little details in the changes 
right, and having to repeat the process if I make any mistakes, plus 
rebulding, running tests, etc, between each change, all are still required.

Thanks,
Bryan
