+1 for that.

I tried it the other way around: first "devtool modify", then rebasing
using git (which only works when the recipe fetches from a git repo),
and finally changing the recipe such that it refers to the version I
rebased onto. But that version change in the recipe confused "devtool
update-recipe" considerably (as in "added all patches between the
version", if I remember correctly).
