What I'm referring to _was_ previously discussed on this list, and
didn't involve removing any information, merely changing its form.

Basically the idea was to add user commands to aggregate sequences of
old patch-logs (and compress the aggregate), and for tla patch-log
access commands to magically make the aggregated/compressed patch-logs
look like normal patch logs.

If you're looking at the raw patch-log files instead of using tla
commands, you'd probably need to change your code to deal with the
situation.

Indeed this functionality would probably help you, since the likely
alternative to such `compression' is to simply delete old
patch-logs... :-)
