I don't think 'git reset --soft' is the right way to do this; I don't want to
lose my local commit history until after I've landed the patch and no longer
need it. 

I would recommend instead that we do what git-cl does, which is to create a new
temporary branch, squash all of the local commits onto that branch, commit
that, and then delete the temporary branch (see
http://neugierig.org/software/git/?url=git-cl/tree/git-cl, lines 734 - 769 or
thereabouts).
