Hi, I understand that the concept of changeset appeared with API 0.6 in April 2009. However, when querying the API, changesets exist prior to this date.

  • How did these changesets created?
  • How did the information they contain retrieved?

Thanks

Thanks! I should be able to read the code. Anyway, the basic logic of applying changesets' capabilities on each users' edits is clever :-)
