The difference here is that instead of submitting a patch for review, which is then frozen, the branch owner can (and that means some will, no matter what your intentions are) keep modifying the branch during the review process, other than just keeping it in sync with conflicting changes to the trunk. How do you plan to prevent that?
You do both. Changesets are immutable. A patch cannot be modified. However, new patches can be added for tracking changes to the tree. You can review the original diff, and you can review how it's tracked head-of-line changes independently. You can take the original diff and manually wedge it in if you want, or you can see how the latest progress differs before submission.
