Probably you shouldn't do that. For me patman normally complains that
it can't find patches to process, and stops.

Can you give me the repeat steps? I think I have seen this before but
I'm not sure how to make it.

Also, patman never edits commits. I wonder if patman is moving you to
the wrong commit somehow. Try 'git reflog' to find something to get
back to.
