Let me rephrase: "in any case using non-Arch trees for computing changesets does not make sense in Arch as I understand it".
Changesets are just fancy diffs. It's quite reasonable to use them any way that diffs are used.
I think "apply-changeset" fits the description of "the changeset-applying function" pretty well.
Sorry for the tautology.
For architectural reasons, I can understand why the internal function might want to know nothing about patchlogs, but still I do not understand why the apply-changeset CLI (or any other incarnation of changeset-applying functions) should silently allow such behaviour.
Well, changesets have almost nothing to do with project tree structure. They take advice from the inventory control files (=tagging-method, .arch-inventory, .arch-id) if present, and that's pretty well it.
