Not sure how this is helping or avoiding that. "push" was never
mentioned here and it's not what this is about.

This was useful for me while rebasing a "feature branch"
to prep a new revision.  It's useful for the future developer reading
the patch to have a link to the revision where the patch was discussed,
rather than a link to a last revision where all the reviews were already
collected.

Also any patch being applied to any branch are in other words being
rebased since your branch probably changed from the time you wrote it
and the time it was applied, even if it applies cleanly (your rebase
might have being clean, too).
