Frequently, it makes sense to combine multiple patches where it really takes multiple patches to resolve a particular issue. Unfortunately this can create a maintenance issue when stable updates include only a portion of those patches, and we have to put in a bit of effort to figure out what was included, and what was not, and then generate a new patch. I am asking that people who are submitting or committing multiple patches to at least leave them separated in a single file as opposed to applying all and generating a diff to create a single large patch. If you dump the individual patches with git format-patch and then cat them together to a single file, each patch can be easily identified within the file, and removed or modified in line with upstream for future maintenance.
