	You do both.  Changesets are immutable.  A patch cannot be modified.  
However, new patches can be added for tracking changes to the tree.  
You can review the original diff, and you can review how it's tracked 
head-of-line changes independently.  You can take the original diff and 
manually wedge it in if you want, or you can see how the latest 
progress differs before submission.
