Personally I think it would be nice if you could do an augmented
patchset so that the end result is the same (with the same SHA1 IDs) as
if one had merged a pull, while still being a human-readable patchset.
The advantage with that is that once merged it'll do the right thing on
the author's end. I think that's pretty much my answer to Jeff's
question :)
