If I have three different things I am doing, then it makes sense to use
different patches. 

On the other hand, if I'm doing programming work and commit changes then
find that I have a typo in my commit, it's much cleaner to rebase so that
there is only one patch.

IMO, it's not good practice to put half-baked programming patches into the
repository.

So would you like me to add this to the Contributors' Guide?  I've been
restricting my work on the CG to the Programming section.

Thanks,
