Still requires manual editing of the .diff.gz to remove them on a
per/patch basis (if for example your 10k/5 file patch gets merged
upstream, but the rest of your 50k of patches don't). Also, if someone
else wants just that patch (backport to a different version) they have to
manually go through the .diff.gz aswell.
My solution still wins :)
