Summary:  Option to display full-texts for added files with show-changeset 

Original Submission:  An option along the lines of diff's --new-file for the 
various changeset displaying commands would be nice.  Not least so people can 
send regular unified diffs around based on work in their arch trees, using 
nothing but "tla what-changed --diffs" and "tla show-changest --diffs", i.e., 
no intermediate trees.



I can see this being triggered via a flag to arch_print_changeset, and then 
calling "diff -u --label=orig/path/within/tree/filename.c 
--label=mod/path/within/tree/filename.c /dev/null path/within/tree/filename.c" 
on each added file.  diff will neatly handle binary files (by printing "foo is 
binary" on stderr) and the result will be a shiny new patch.



Perhaps an option to exclude arch control files could be part of this, too, 
thought filterdiff makes it possibly to achieve this outside tla.



If no one pounces on this, I'll code it up in the next couple of days.
