I suppose if tla is going to continue to use the standard patch

The kludge I came up with was:
1. make a scratch copy
2. apply the patch backwards to the scratch copy. Everything will conflict, except whatever was already applied.
3. apply the conflicts backwards (i.e. in the same direction as the original patch) to the real copy
