That is not a bad idea, but there is one use case you do not consider.. it would mean that feature cannot be merged before it is completed.

I like my patches to be merged as soon as possible. Of course if the patches leave the tree in working state.

The patchset that started this thread already depends on about 15 patches that were merged to master two moths ago.
