But you can generate the patch using git:

% git checkout -b my-branch
% vim src/file1.c
% git commit -a -m "Very important patch"
% git checkout master
% git format-patch my-branch
% mv 0000-* debian/patches/my-patch.patch
% echo  my-patch.patch > debian/patches/series

The patch-queue tool in git-buildpackage can be useful too (gbp-pq).
