Provide easy way to download in one gesture all the files of a change set

Customers who generally work in the Web UI need to review change set contents. To do that they often need to download all the files of the change set. This is especially true if the files in the change set are binary or a special format like Microsoft Office files. Currently it is only possible to download one file at a time in the Web UI. On command line they can try to use a combination of "list changes" command to show all the files changed with "get change" to actually download each file individually, but this is awkward as it requires either aliases or UUIDs and is time consuming.

A typical use case is to click on the change set link in the associated work item and open the change set item in the browser.

If there were a button there saying "Download Files" or something like that it would be very helpful. Presently, users have to click on each file link and then go to the "Download" icon in right corner, to download each file one by one.

This issue was raised some time ago. See this discussion.
