alt Hacker NewsNo, I mean small chunks that are actually merged instead of having a stack of them floating around.
A rebase before a merge can always happen, of course. But there are not stacked commits then it is just a standard rebase of your small chunk and that's it. And this will also have a shorter life than a stack so rebases will be rarer and simpler.
Oh, yes - but this is more about your situation than your style. Sometimes a feature is large and varied enough to beg multiple PRs, yet singular enough that you are not developing them serially (i.e. as you work on later parts, you are changing earlier parts). Most of the time this isn't the case.
