In case somebody does get hit, here's what I think we have been doing
in another project for outstanding changes:
1) Reformat on top of the patch, so you'll kind of the get the same
baseline as the updated master.
2) Merge in the updated master into the branch holding the patch(es).
Cross fingers that git does most of the hard work for you.
3) Do a diff to the previously merged master. This should be your
changes that you can now copy (git diff -> git apply) to a fresh
branch.

Of course this only works if you don't care for the history, ie only
want a single patch. Or you'll have to go through the process of
splitting it again after copying it to the branch.
