I would like to have changeset files be a single file, not a procedure
for adding attachments, because I would like it to be possible to store
changesets as files, and manipulate them as such.

Sure, we can say "changesets are MIME messages", and treat those as the
files, but MIME can get pretty complicated and has many variations,
whereas the changeset format is fairly simple.
