'Just the patch' would mean no output like

* finding or making c--b--v--patch-4
* build reference tree for address@hidden/c--b--v--patch-4
* from import revision: address@hidden/c--b--v--base-0
* patching for revision: address@hidden/c--b--v--patch-1
* patching for revision: address@hidden/c--b--v--patch-2
* patching for revision: address@hidden/c--b--v--patch-3
* patching for revision: address@hidden/c--b--v--patch-4
* finding or making c--b--v--patch-6

Okay, <files added / deleted / modified> output is desirable in a patch
file, but the initial output is not.

Also, a new option, perhaps, to tla delta to output just a GNU patch file,
so that patches can be sent to people not using arch could be added...?
