Well, the patch first adds the name of the branch used and increases the
number of commits in the history.

Whether or not this is helpful depends on the situation. When I test a
patch in a temporary branch, only a hash with the subject is in
tree.gittxt. The information which commit was the base on which I
applied the patch is lost, and the hash of a temporary branch no longer
exists. And then there are the situations where you want to test a patch
on top of a patch ... on top of commit xyz. A short history doesn't
hurt, but can be quite helpful in some situations.
