What you could do is a "git merge --no-commit". Then look at all changes
that would be committed and revert those that are not wanted in the
branch that is getting merged into. Commit. The next "git merge" will
only merge changes made since the last merge, so this manual selection
only needs to be done once per patch.

Disclaimer: haven't tried this myself.
