Actually, I find that that is a truly awful habit and I wish that people
would *not* do it that way.  There are two reasons why not:

* no permanent archive of the submitted patch

* reviewer won't know if the submitter changes the patch after he
downloads a copy, and in fact nobody will ever know unless the submitter
takes the time to compare the eventual commit to what he thinks the
patch is
