I'm lazy like that all the time.  I usually just do small patches against
my local master branch and push them from there.  When you do that,
they'll show up in Gerrit as having a dependency on any previous
as-yet-unmerged patches, which is what having a separate branch protects
against.  But the current version of Gerrit is smart enough to be able to
merge patches out of order despite supposed dependencies if there isn't a
real dependency, so it mostly doesn't matter.
