[Reading committed code...]
That's a very neat short cut - just using the file names rather than
trying to read the files themselves as the abortive patch a few months
back tried.
Question: What happens when we run out of LogIds? I know we don't wrap
onto the next timeline, but do we start from LogId=1 again? Looks to me
like we just fall on the floor right now.
We're probably not pressed for an answer... :-)
