Please keep it consistent with other tla commands -- that's more
important than compatibility with random other rcses.

In other words, it should be:  tla diff rev [-- file ...]
If you want to support partial diffs.

For consistency, it would probably be better to implement such
functionality as an extension to the existing "changes" command, and
make "diff ...stuff..." simply invoke "changes --diffs ...stuff..."
(tla makes it very easy to invoke other tla commands with a modified
argument list).
