Maybe I don't have a sensible workflow, but often with lots of tiddly little binutils patches I don't bother with branches for everything. (I do use branches for larger work.) I also like to test my patches. I'll test individually on a few relevant targets but do a test over a large number of targets (162 currently) for a bunch of patches. Some of those patches tested might not be ready for commit upstream (lacking comments, changelogs, even lacking that vital self review), so I'll "git rebase -i" to put the ones that are ready first, then "git push origin <commit id>:master" just to push up to the relevant commit. That works quite well for me. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
