The time I "finish" working on a series and commit is typically much closer to the time I format-patch the result, but it will take time for me to actually mail out these files. It will take time to re-review and re-think if the explanation in them makes sense to readers, and sending half-edited patch is something I try to avoid as it would be a waste of time for everybody involved (including me who would then need to respond to messages that helpfully point out silly typoes, in addition to those who spots them). I am trained myself not to touch these files after sending them out, as comparing them with a newer iteration of the correspoinding files was one way to see what has (and hasn't) changed between iterations before I learned "git tbdiff", and that habit persists.
