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?
