That's pretty much what I do.  I run a
	git branch upstream-linus upstream

and then submit a pull request for the upstream-linus branch.  That way, 
I can keep working and committing stuff, and don't have to wait for 
Linus to pull.

Then, after the pull, I delete the branch
	git branch -D upstream-linus

locally, and repeat the process next time a bunch of changes are queued up.
