Hmm, but a rejected patch isn't one that is going to be left applied,
right?

And I didn't want to use "merged", not because it doesn't fit, but more
because most people view a merged patch as something they've sent off
and it got permanently applied to some other tree.

I'm still open to name changes.  It'll be a couple days before I can
generate a new patch (which basically just renames the command), so if
there is a consensus on something other than "drop" that will work too.
