  Generally speaking, the reason to form your own branches is 
  to to development:  you commit your changes to your branches;
  others (usually upstream) can merge those changes from your
  branches.

* Hypothetical Local Changes, For Illustration Purposes

  Begin with a tree containing a revision of your branch:

  [[tty
    % tla get lord@gnu.org--my-hacks-2005/TOP--tla--1.3.1 tla-tree
    % cd tla-tree
    % tla buildcfg ./config
    % cd src/tla
    % tla tree-version
    lord@emf.net--my-hacks-2005/TOP--tla--1.3.1
  ]]

  In that directory, make your changes to the `tla' project.

  As an example, let's suppose that you make two changes.  First,
  you modify the file `COPYING' so that instead of beginning:

  /*from* `Copying':/

  [[tty
    All or most of the source files in this distribution refer to this
    file for copyright and warranty information.  This file should be
    included whenever those files are redistributed.
  ]]

  it begins:

  /*from (modified)* `Copying':/

  [[tty
    All or most of the source files in the tree rooted here refer to this
    file for copyright and warranty information.  This file should be
    included whenever those files are redistributed.
  ]]

  You might also add a comment to `Makefile.in' so that instead of:

  /*from* `Makefile.in':/

  [[tty
    include $(makefiles)/dirs.mk
  ]]

  it reads

  /*from* `Makefile.in':/

  [[tty
    # use the default rules for recursively building
    # a set of subdirectories, in the appropriate order:
    # 
    include $(makefiles)/dirs.mk
  ]]


* Examining Changes

  The command

  [[tty
    % tla changes 
  ]]

  reports the list of modified files.


  With an option:

  [[tty
    % tla changes --diffs
  ]]

  reports both the list of modified files and `diffs' of how those 
  files have changed.


* Commands Discussed


  [[tty
    % tla changes -H
  ]]
