That's true, but this is not such a situation: the original changes
were never committed without any modifications.

Sometimes committing the original and then making changes in a
followup is TRT, and sometimes it isn't; it's a judgment call.  In
general, the decision depends on the percentage of the original
submission that the committer would like to change, and also on the
overall volume of the original submission.  In this case, the original
patch was relatively small, and I modified it in relatively
significant ways.  So it made little sense to commit something that
would be immediately modified in significant ways, it would just be
extra work for no good reason.

You can always use "git log --grep" to find references to your
contributions in the log messages.  And the log message includes a
reference to the bug number, where you can refer people for your
actual contribution.
