Patch series submissions for mainline should be cleanly rebased, with each 
patch as a logical part of the intended eventual changes; they should not 
be a dump of the successive stages by which the patch was developed.

It's reasonable to have an initial patch that adds the skeleton of a 
feature, then subsequent patches that add well-defined additional features 
to it.  The following are examples of patch series structures that are not 
appropriate:

* This sort of adding a file under one name in one patch, then renaming in 
a later patch of the series.

* Introducing a known bug in one patch in the series, where a subsequent 
patch in the series is the fix, unless the fix really depends on 
intermediate patches in the series
