For me the problem stops right here: `tla changes' necessarily operates on
the whole project, just like all other commands.  Performance would be
drastically improved if `tla' only looked at the files it needs to perform
a given command, and if the user could specify those files.
I generally operate within a subtree of my `emacs' project.  And when
I commit, I generally know which files I'm committing, so I can pass them to
`tla' just fine.  Part of this is a UI issue, other part is implementation.
But the ID-tagging and the repository format seem innocent here.

Other implementation limitation: it always constructs a whole tree when it
really only needs "file FOO from revision BAR".
