+TODO we want a more complicated mechanism for the client to specify which
+ancestor revisions are known. This is needed so intelligent deltas can be
+emitted and so updated linknodes can be sent if the client needs to adjust
+its linknodes for existing file nodes to older changeset revisions.
 TODO we may want to make linknodes an array so multiple changesets can be
 marked as introducing a file revision, since this can occur with e.g. hidden
 changesets.
