Yep.
Do not confuse the high-level user-visible merge and diff concepts with
revlog's internal delta storage. Delta storage is just an implementation
detail of revlogs that is actually isolated from the rest of Mercurial.
If you replaced revlogs with uncompressed entries in a simple database
(as Google Code does), the rest of Mercurial wouldn't care.
