"patch-3" is a patchlevel, not a revision name of any kind.
"foo--bar--0--patch-3" is a revision name, and it would be acceptable here.
"address@hidden/foo--bar--0--patch-3" is a fully-qualified revision 
name, and it would also be acceptable.

So your proposed changes would be incorrect.  Anyhow, there's a better 
option: we can make "tla changes patch-3" work.
