For larger applications (like Kontact/KMail and probably also for 
KOffice) quite the contrary is true. When working on larger applications 
you will do a lot of refactoring whenever you add a new larger feature 
because otherwise the application will quickly become an unmaintainable 
mess.

Whether multiple separate pushes are a minor or major annoyance I cannot 
judge.
