That is possible. Although "replaced" should be "merged" probably

The flow is:

1. you push your changes to http://www.xaraya.com:16000
2. patch is put in PENDING state-> msg sent to patch list
3. one of the committers checks patch into and pushes the patch file to
main. 
4. on subsequent pulls, the patches go to the different clones (not the
changes themselves, but the packaged patch)
5. one of the committers evaluates the patch and either accepts or rejects
ist by applying normally. (now the actual changes are in the developers
local tree)
6. The actual changes are pushed to main (now they are in the main tree)
7. On your subsequent pull your changes are merged with your tree. (now they
are merged in your local tree, you already have them so the merge is a null
merge, because you already have them)


So, there is a delay in the sense that:
- the visibility of the patch itself depends on the time at which committer
goes to check in the patch into the main tree.
- the delay in the applying of the change may be substantial (evaluation
time needed)
