I had been asked to include empty lines when I had left them out when
I had contributed a patch regarding the serial nodes, which resulted in
a second version of that patch.

If I had accidentally deleted or modified an attribute in the process
of cleanup, this could have had a functional impact. It's easier to
notice this sort of omission when the wall of text you're confronted
with is as small as possible, and not multiple pages long.

I agree that 1 commit vs 14 is better.

But for future reference: is it not enough for the Reviewed-by: trailer
to be sent in response to the cover letter of a patch set if a reviewer
has looked at the entire set?
