I know git :p.
A rebase is only possible (or can be called "natural" anyway) as long
as you didn't push your changes. However I did, two other people are
using the repository to compile and test that I know of, others might
because it's on github after all. I can create local-only branches
and do rebasing there but then I still have to apply the incremental
patches the normal way to the published repository; all in all, it's
just extra work.

I think I'm going to do the following now:
For each submitted patch I will create a new (local) branch, if patches
depend on each other then I'll merge them first. Then I can use git
to just generate a "diff between branches". The downside of this is
that having currently 7 outstanding patches (assuming all depend on
each other) making a change in the first one will require me to
to do six merges %-). I might opt for concentrating on the first patch
until it is merged in your repository and then go to the next :p.
That will still be easier. Hence that I compared this work flow with
RCS.
