I think that's the best we can do currently, but the implementation is
inefficient: If you don't have revision library with the revision 116,
then, you  have to get all  the patches up to  patch-116, call "patch"
many times, then, build revision 117, then call "diff", ... 

But the result is just a  part of the changeset of patch-117, which is
already in the archive, and doesn't need to be rebuilt ... 

So,  I   think  tla   needs  more  output   formats  to   the  command
get-changeset. 

I'd like to have a

tla get-changeset --diffs patch-117
tla get-changeset --file-diff foo.c patch-117
