It all depends. Some people patch nightly, but that can cause issues when the programs break due to bugs introduced in code. It is going to depend on your ability to regress or fix an issue in case of a failure.

What is your rollback time/procedure? Can you even initiate one? How do you lock which patches you need in case a machine is patched on a different day. If you point them toward the upstream distribution, chances are you will have machines with different code sets within weeks.

This is not a simple forum question like how to make sure you set NFS caching. There are entire groups at companies that handle this.

STG-PUSH(1)							   StGit Manual 						       STG-PUSH(1)

NAME
stg-push - Push one or more patches onto the stack SYNOPSIS
stg push [options] [<patch1>] [<patch2>] [<patch3>..<patch4>] DESCRIPTION
Push one or more patches (defaulting to the first unapplied one) onto the stack. The push operation allows patch reordering by commuting them with the three-way merge algorithm. If there are conflicts while pushing a patch, those conflicts are written to the work tree, and the command halts. Conflicts raised during the push operation have to be fixed and the git add --update command run (alternatively, you may undo the conflicting push with stg undo). The command also notifies when the patch becomes empty (fully merged upstream) or is modified (three-way merged) by the push operation. OPTIONS
-a, --all Push all the unapplied patches. -n NUMBER, --number NUMBER Push the specified number of patches. --reverse Push the patches in reverse order. --set-tree Push the patches, but don't perform a merge. Instead, the resulting tree will be identical to the tree that the patch previously created. This can be useful when splitting a patch by first popping the patch and creating a new patch with some of the changes. Pushing the original patch with --set-tree will avoid conflicts and only the remaining changes will be in the patch. -k, --keep Keep the local changes. -m, --merged Check for patches merged upstream.
