If you can split out a smaller series that is obviously correct and justifiable with or without the rest of the series, that is very good in general. I think [1/10] almost falls into that category, modulo that we used to say it is "fatal:" when you have unmerged files and cannot cherry-pick, but you now say "error:", which I think is an unnecessary change that you may want to avoid if you can. I am not yet convinced [2/10] falls into that category.
