3.6.2 Included Deltas

Normally the contents of the gotten delta is included in the output, along with all the non-deleted lines of its ancestors. However, a delta can also specify that some other delta should be included. This really only makes a difference when there is a branch in the file.

For example, if delta 1.5 includes 1.3.1.5, then the gotten file will include the contents of versions 1.1 through to 1.5, plus the contents of the 1.3.1 branch up to and including 1.3.1.5. Lines which were (say) added in 1.2 but delted in 1.3.1.1 will not appear in the output, since we have included a delta that deletes them.
