This is "get-changeset"

baz get-changeset foobar--main--0--patch-4 ,p4
baz show-changeset ,p4
baz show-changset --diffs ,p4
(I believe in the future this will be --diff)

The ,p4 is an arbitrary name to put the changeset. I prefix with a comma
because that prevents the patchset from being considered "source".
