I've recently switched to using Arch in my web development, and I'm 
very pleased with it overall. I'm just having one problem. I found this 
question on the Wiki as well, and as no one had answered it, I thought 
I'd ask here. I'll post the response to the Wiki.

I'm tracking a project that doesn't use Arch (using the recipe from the 
Wiki). It works well. I'm up to patch-7, and then realize I have some 
changes I want to contribute upstream to a project which is not using 
Arch.

So my patch-8 contains all the changes. I'd like to take that patch and 
submit it in a form that can be applied to non-Arch source code. Then I 
can commit it, send it to someone, etc..

I realize that Arch's changesets do a lot more than normal the normal 
patch command. I'd be even happy if I could apply an Arch changeset on 
non-Arch code. Is that possible?

Questions:

1. Is there a way I can take patch-8, and apply that on another 
machine, with tla installed, on non-Arch controlled source trees?

2. Is there a way to take that changeset and apply the changes to a 
non-Arch source tree, even if I don't get the renaming of files, etc... 
I'd love to just be able to patch -p0 < patch-file and have a 
reasonably close set of changes made to the source code.

3. If #1 or #2 is not possible, is it possible to get the output of tla 
changes --diffs in a diff format that I can pipe to a file. For 
example, here's what I'd like to do:

   tla changes --diffs > patch-file
   sftp myotherhost.com
   > put patch-file
   ssh myotherhost.com
   patch -p0 < patch-file

The question on the Wiki is phrased this way:

How do I make it output the new files as diffs as well, so that I get 
something that contains the whole source of the changeset as diff to be 
read by a human directly or applied by a non-arch developer (needed for 
upstream contribution in non-arch project)?

Your assistance is very much appreciated.
