That was not what I meant at all. You don't send different patch 
revisions, or incremental improvements to a single change into a single 
repository. You send in chunks of changes that can stand on their own 
(for example in the test suite), instead of a single large patch that's 
much harder to review, which contains everything needed to fix a single 
issue.

Cheers,
