Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Inconsistency of Added-files and Removed-files

On a related note, I'd like to understand why the new-patches header for 
a tag revision is a complete listing of all logs in the tree, while the 
new-patches header for a commit reflects all logs that aren't accounted 
for in the tree.

I've got commit --base emitting a tag-style new-patches, on the theory 
that "commit --out-of-date-ok --base foo bar --" should produce 
equivalent output to "tla tag".  That leads to some ambiguity, though, 
because a commit --base may actually contain new patchlogs (e.g. from 
replay).  There's no way I can see to distinguish between a new patchlog 
and an old one, based on the headers alone.
