No worries -- I'm being needlessly nit-picky; sorry.  Plus, isn't it  
the weekend for you?  It's perfectly understandable if you didn't  
want to RTFM on the weekend.  :-)

Ok.  I'll work up a proposed README -- per your point, you're right,  
the last "good" r number (i.e., the last N value before the deletions  
occurred) may not be (r_number_of_HEAD - 1).  I'll include the last  
"good" r number in the README and some examples of how to peruse the  
history.
