If there was one thing I wasn't so fond of in these patches, it seemed
like there were too many. The beauty of git is the ability to go back
and squash and split patches in a way that makes a lot more sense to
others- it might not have been the way or order you did things in, but
you should try as hard as possible to make a commit the largest
logical unit that makes sense, but still small enough to grasp fully.

If there are ever closely-related changes strewn across multiple
patches in a patch set, you should probably think about merging those
commits.
