Well, if the submitter wants to cheat, she/he certainly can this way, but
what's the benefit, honestly?  If the reviewer actually notices that there are
more differences than the submitter admits to, the consequences may be quite
unpleasant for the submitter (like the rejection of any future patches, for
example).  And mistakes are possible anyway (and the more patches you deal
with, the greater the chances of making a mistake are).

Thanks.
