It is even worse if you do not necessarily agree with that "two", which
you might originally have written "t w o". You _still_ want to keep the
version from the upstream (i.e. leaving the result as "two") while
replaying the patch that adds "one" (and correcting the change upstream
did to make it "modified one"), and when it is the "t w o" patch's turn,
you would want to do the same dance to make an incremental correction to
the way the upstream butchered your original change.
