That's not normal. It should not matter what directory you get in.
You shouldn't get "PANIC: conflict applying patch in
arch_build_revision". That implies that the archive has inconsistent
data.

AFAIK, The only thing tla checks is to make sure the output directory
doesn't already exist.

That should produce the error "get: output directory already exists"
unless you specify an alternate directory.

That's what tla get does by convention. It assumes if you want to
source control your files, you also want them in a separate directory.
If you don't do that, you'll have to deal with all the other files that
aren't supposed to be a part of your package.
Other revision control system do the same. Perhaps you've already used
"tla get" once and you really want to "tla update"?
