The history of reverse deltas goes back to Walter Tichy, the famed 
inventor of RCS. Prior to RCS all we had was SCCS. And we had to *pay* for 
it!.

Why, I remember when we had to program using just zeroes and ones. Hell, I 
remember when we didn't even have ones. We had to do all our programming 
with zeroes! And we liked it!
