--- Comment #6 from Kenneth Russell <kbr at google.com> ---
At this point, `git-webkit pr --amend` will upload the same branch to an existing PR even if all changes have been committed.

One caveat is that if multiple commits are made on the branch, all of their commit messages seem to show up concatenated in the PR. For this reason, it seems the expected workflow is to use `git commit --amend` locally. Personally, I would prefer if commits were auto-squashed upon PR upload or amending, because this makes it easier to keep local branch history especially with long-running branches, but this is a matter of opinion.

Please do keep the documentation for git-webkit up to date; https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/wiki/Pull-Requests is out of date now (it doesn't use eng/-prefixed branches any more, for example). Thanks.
