Subject: reversible binary diff
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 21:04:46 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0608252050140.3683@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
I just noticed that the binary diff format was augmented in order to
carry the reverse diff information.
Why was this needed?
I mean, if you want to reverse a binary diff you only need to retrieve
the original blob the forward diff was meant to apply against, and it is
certainly already available in the object store if the forward diff has
been previously applied. Or has this assumption been wrong for some
work flow?
