Really? I've not heard that. Just a strong aversion to "this patch".
I've got feedback to say "previous patches" and not "the last patch" so
it doesn't get stale. I guess it could be "previous changes".
Talking about patches make sense when discussing literal patches sent to
the mailing list. In the git log, it's commit, and "future commits" or
"follow-up work".
Yes, we use "patches" all of the time in commit logs, especially when we
include the cover letter in the commit message (as done frequently in
the -mm tree).
