It looks like this?  (There, that gives an appropriate distribution
of ? and . characters, if not in the right places :-) )  Comments by
me appear on the far right.

head     1.1;					most recent rev
access   ;					list of authorised users
symbols  ;					names for specific rev's
locks    ;					owners of locks on rev's

						if there were deltas,
						differences to convert 1.1
						to (say) 0.9 would appear
						here (although 1.1 is
						always the first rev,
						unless you force it to
						be higher).

						the next delta might
						then convert rev 0.9 to
						rev 0.8.  In each case a
						delta is a series of `d #'
						and `a # <text>' lines, with
						text quoted in `@' signs.
