When I post python patches upstream and rework them based on review
comments, I always make the changes both in the python branch and in the
patch I'm submitting, to avoid exactly that problem. In fact, most of
the time, I do the rework in the branch and then cherry-pick the commit
to the branch with the python patches.
If there's a merge conflict because upstream is different than the
python branch, then I probably screwed up somewhere. But I try to be
careful with this.
