Partially agree here (look below)... it is something between code
changes and documentation updates... For documentation purposes, also
collected updates were accepted in the past. However, strictly using
method 2, also the documentation would have to be updated strictly with
each code change and not just in the end of a series.

My thought was, that neither the build itself, nor the functioning of
the software is disturbed but this sorting of the patches. And also,
there are no Travis builds of separate commits usually, because I would
have applied the patches, compiled the code, tested it and then uploaded
the branch. But I see your point to keep a strict line within every
single and smallest feature.
