The patches are related. They are updates based on feedback, partial failure or improvement. They aren't bulk pushes (whatever that means). They are updates on a single changeset. Why do people send multiple patches per push? That's the right question to ask. And the answer is: to improve the previous patch. Hence my question. If a patch has partially failed, or I got feedback to improve it, or (insert reason here), and I want to push an update, why should the previous patch still build when it's not necessary?
