Whether they make it to trunk or not doesn't really change the fact

I would disagree here. I used 'WIP' as my commit message for a branch
that is an experimental and potentially fixes a PR. GCC git is a central
point for my setup, I need to push the branch in order to pull it from
a different machine and test it there.
Moreover, as Jason said, one can have multiple commits that will be
squashed anyway before a patch submission.
