Wanting this is rare enough that I don't mind doing it manually on the
occasions when it happens to arises. I'd advise against spending too
much effort on it if it turns out to be tricky.

The last case where it might have been helpful to me was one where a
coverage patch added new tests (issue A) that picked up a bug (issue
B) and I made a single commit with both the new test and the fix for
the bug. I don't remember the exact details any more, but it was
something along those lines.

Cheers,
Nick.
