Sounds like you probably made two mistakes, both which would have been
trapped if you were using a more recent tla:

1) you committed to a mirror.  You can't do that, and tla shouldn't let
you.  What version are you using?

2) you probably used an alias of an archive name in a "tla get" command,
which set the tree-version to the alias, which causes those "no patch
log for version" errors.  tla shouldn't let you do that, either, and
current versions don't, I think.
