for a new feature request? a PR isn't a commit, it's a set of commits which would add to the line change amount.
Like even if you spread it out across 20 or 30 commits that's still going to be the same line count.
I guess you could push not yet functional or used code to lessen the line count change, but that seems in bad taste. I've always gone off the working repo should always be in build or clean state and a push or commit shouldn't break that.
I work in a Scrum team and we implement features iteratively, so we start with the minimal feature, merge it, get feedback, and go on from there.
At work there's no excuse to keep a feature in a stale branch until you accumulate 1000 lines of code change.
