No.  tla logs, cat-log, (and quite likely all the other 'Patch Log
Commands'), as far as I can see, operate by pulling the patch log from the
logs stored in the project tree you're currently in
({arch}/<cat>/<cat>--<branch> etc).  Fully-qualifying a revision that isn't
present in the current tree will fail as well (you can try that out).

The equivalent command for tla logs to work from an archive is tla
revisions; for cat-log you can use cat-archive-log.
