Depends on how small your "small" is, but in general, the above is a good approximation of the preference order. Wholesale replacement without having to think is the easiest. When the latest round is not from a distant past (i.e. less than two weeks old), replacement patches for only selected steps is also fine, as I can pretend it is a wholesale replacement by completing the missing patches by picking them from the mailbox while using the updated ones. "Please change x to y" is the least welcome, with a big exception that it is the easiest when it is a change to a few words in a single place, either in the log message or a file contents, of a single patch topic---in other words, something I can deal with "commit --amend" and needs less than 2 minutes to handle. Anything larger than that size and requires me to fire up "rebase -i" starts to make me wonder why _I_ am doing that, not the topic owner. Thanks.
