patchset question

[Alison Schofield <amsfield22@gmail.com>]

Patchset help needed:

I've changed one file in 5 different ways..all cleanup related. 
It will be split into 5 patches.

In one branch I used git add -pi followed by commit to incrementally
create 5 commits.  Each one dependent on the previous.  This is easy to grab 
and build as a patchset because they are all on the same branch.

Is this method  OK?

(The alternative is to give each commit it's own branch to keep them
independent.)

Searching archives of opw kernel I found reference to the dependent
commits, stating it was OK.  But that may be outdated, so checking in.

Thanks!
