It's probably irrelevant to the fix, but the changed (not added) files seem to 
be untouched in the working dir.

Summary:  |tla undo -o mychanges| barfs badly

Original Submission:  Reproduction:

1. cd into your working tree

2. Make changes to your source. Change files and add files.

3. tla undo -o mychanges (really "mychanges", not ",,mychanges")



Expected result:

Clean working tree (as in archive), plus a changeset dir called "mychanges"



Actual result:

Seems like tla undo records mychanges as "change/addition" of the working dir 
and in the end decides to delete it. Duh.



Symptoms:

- tla barfs with

Error calling `vu_stat' for 
"/path/to/working/tree/mychanges/patches/./path/to/changed.file.patch" (No such 
file or directory)

- Your added files have already been deleted.

- There is no "mychanges" dir

- There are 2 dirs, called ,,tmp-*. One of them contains lots of numerical 
dirs. The dir "0" contained the changeset (complete, it seemed), at least in my 
case. So, it seems that no data was actually lost, just hard to find.
