It's not `definately', really -- more like `sometimes'. But it's a BIG
`sometimes'.
Sometimes you want to say, "Let's pretend that had never happened,"
(Rob's case) and other times you want to say "Ok, I made the same
change that was made previously -- only backwards," (Bob's case).
Of course, the abstract difference only ever makes a _real_ difference
in _real_ situations -- like running `whats-missing', for starters.
Yes, let's do get these casual readers thinking about patch-log
semantics,
