Keeping the individual patches reviewable is one useful goal.
We may be talking at cross-purposes here. The sort of thing I think
Alvaro is imagining is something like what I did a year or two back when
I wanted to make the executor treat plan trees as read-only --- if
memory serves, I did that in three or four commits spread over a week or
two.
To second this, Alvaro is constantly beating our (cmd) other developers
to do this, so I would guess that you are correct :).
I find also that this method allows someone like me, who can read C and
understand good parts of it to get the gist of what is going on without
trying to grok the whole thing. Large patches make it very difficult.
