Heh, I am not the one to complain about people being slow ;)

Both would mean I will end up with parts of your work-in-progress queue,
which I would rather avoid. If you create a branch (lets call it A) off
v4.3 and apply that one patch there and merge branch A it into your main
branch (even though you already have a version of the same patch in your
main branch) and I will merge that branch A into my tree then we are
guaranteed not to have conflicts as git will resolve everything nicely.

Thanks.
