That's true, but you can use a 'git tag' command to mark the whole
stack as something useful and this would include the state of all the
patches on the stack. This would be a whole stack history, not
individual patch history. Maybe we should implement this as well (or
maybe only this).

Anyway, I wasn't sure that's the right implementation and that's why I
didn't include Chuck's patch yet.
