that's what is meant

it is only "marked" as discarded that is it should not be applied to
the tree.
but it is still available in the submaster archives

no, you need to download the old patch, it is used by the sm patch command
to create the new patch

the scheme is :
1. Discard patch $id in submaster (assuming $id is patch's id)
2. sm get $id (to retrieve the patch)
3. <make some changes and sm commit them> (it creates a new revision $rev)
4. sm patch $id.patch $rev (to create the new patch)
5. sm send (to upload the new patch in submaster)


hoping i could make it clearer,
