It's probably easier to use show-changeset, than poke around in
/tmp/foo by hand. Using show-changeset has the same merge
complexity issues though...

 $ tla show-changeset /tmp/foo
* added directories

    debian
    debian/.arch-ids
    {arch}/project/project--debian
    {arch}/project/project--debian/project--debian--1.0.0
    {arch}/project/project--debian/project--debian--1.0.0/address@hidden
    
{arch}/project/project--debian/project--debian--1.0.0/address@hidden/patch-log

* added files

    debian/.arch-ids/=id
    debian/.arch-ids/changelog.id
    debian/changelog
    
{arch}/project/project--debian/project--debian--1.0.0/address@hidden/patch-log/base-0
    
{arch}/project/project--debian/project--debian--1.0.0/address@hidden/patch-log/patch-1
    
{arch}/project/project--marlin/project--marlin--1.0.0/address@hidden/patch-log/patch-1
