I think the main problem is that when I look at the history in git
that it's unclear which patches are all applied to a branch.

If you have a branch and you add a few patches to it, and then
merge only the last one in an other branch, I think it looks
just the same as if you've merged all the patches.

I think it's just unclear what the parent is in each branch.
