Yeah, not too hard. We already diff two snapshots to produce a patch.
Given a patch, it's a Small Matter of Programming to turn it into a
ChangeSet.
More useful though, would be to create a file format for Monticello
patches, one which includes its ancestry in the same way that a Version
records a snapshot's ancestry. That way we can safely apply the patch
to arbitrary versions of a package.
