Well, yes and no. I do want to see the patches in the suggested order because that would make things easier to understand if they are related.

The request you are referring to was not about the order of patches in one e-mail message. It was more like "please show us documentation first so that we can pick nits in the design (goal of implementation) before you start to code". That way, if there were a change (like -A flag in checkout-cache) that people would find objectionable, the effort to code the change and the effort to review the code can both be saved.
