[Gnu-arch-users] Changes consulting project tree to construct revision

[Aaron Bentley]

tla changes acts somewhat oddly when passed a package-version.  Unlike 
most commands, it uses the latest log in the tree to determine the 
patchlevel.  This is documented behaviour, I just don't see much value 
in it.

Other commands (like get, update) use the archive, not the tree to 
determine the patchlevel, when given a package-version.

I propose to change this so that when changes is passed no parameters, 
it uses the project tree revision.  When passed a revision, it uses 
that.  When passed a package-version parameter, it uses the archive to 
determine the revision.

Does anyone think this is a bad idea?
