Hello,
   Here is what I have so far:

address@hidden:~/tla-archives/tla--command-changes-symbol-definitions--0.1--base-0/build$ 
./tla/tla/tla changes -H
report about local changes in a project tree
usage: tla changes [options] [revision] [-- limit...]

 -h, --help        Display a help message and exit.
 -H                Display a verbose help message and exit.
 -V, --version     Display a release identifier string and exit.
 -A, --archive     Override `my-default-archive'.
 -d, --dir DIR     Change to DIR first.
 -o, --output DIR  Save changeset in DIR (implies --keep).
 -v, --verbose     Verbose changeset report.
 -q, --quiet       Suppress progress information
 --diffs           Include diffs in the output.
 -k, --keep        Don't remove the output directory on termination.
 --link            hardlink unchanged files to revision library
 --unescaped       show filenames in unescaped form

* Symbol Definitions:
A/   added directory
D/   deleted directory
/>   renamed directory
-/   directory permissions changed

A    added file
D    deleted file
M    file modified
Mb   binary file modified
--   permissions of file changed
=>   renamed file
fl   file replaced by link
lf   link replaced by file
->   link target changed

. . . .

The main reason I am sending this email is to gather feedback in how 
this output should look, and what the "section" header string should be 
(currently "* Symbol Definitions:). It is possible that your mail user 
agent shows the lines above misaligned. That is not the case in the 
patch, all lines are column aligned. There is no indentation on the 
symbols at this time.

Comments are always welcome,
