;-)

True off course. Publishing an archive and sending a merge request is
a good and simple way to send a changeset to someone.

Still, some people seem to like being able to send changesets (for
example, by email). Right now, I'm not part of this category of
people, but still, I'd like to offer them features similar to "public
archive + merge request", in xtla.

I'm a bit lost here because I don't have a real understanding on what
problem having a changeset in a separate directory answers to.
