I don't know if this will help you, but you can try:

tla get wombat--mainline--0.1--patch-42 wombat
tla get-changeset wombat--mainline--0.1--patch-43 ,patch-43
cd wombat
tla apply-changeset ../,patch-43

That's at least another route to try.

I'm trying it right now, but I have to agree, that's a big tree. 
(checked out revision 42 is 291M, tarred it is 210M so some of that is 
lost space from all the arch ids, tar.gz is 45M)

Though I have to say, when I just tried it, I got a different error. 
Actually what I got was:


$ tla apply-changeset ../,patch-43/
Error encountered accessing directory (Bad address)
Path: (null)
A 
{arch}/wombat/wombat--mainline/wombat--mainline--0.1/disy@cse.unsw.edu.au--2004/patch-log/patch-43
M   include/asm-l4/i386/arch.h

Which sounds like there is a problem with patch-43. I don't have the 
time right now to really delve into this more, but it might be a 
starting point. (By the way, wombat is up to patch-52, are there no 
other cacherevs?)
