No, not just in one large branch. But you can collect patches on
specific topics into separate branches that are sent multiple times as
you add patches to it. I.e. similar to how most platform maintainers
have been collecting patches in topic branches with one pull request
done at the end, but with pull requests going in as the branch is
built up.

Does that explanation make sense? I can elaborate if it's still not quite clear.
