Sorry, then, we're not talking about the same thing.  I'm talking about
changesets generated by `tla changes' only.  I understand that the same code
is used for all different ways to build a changeset, but I fail to see in
what way this is relevant.  Maybe the line is blurry, but only in
one direction: you can use both types of changesets for cherry-picking, but
you can't use both types of changesets in an archive (which is the place
where you care about reliable patching).
