There was a problem hiding this comment.
Why not expose this functionality as a method on Snapshot? (self.snapshots.changelog())

No, because I'm overriding the changelog map key type here. Our empty (Unit) keys have a particular behaviour, in that they are not length-prefixed zero-length elements in tuples (they are just being skipped, when building the key).
Anyway, that's another issue, and (in this case) due to an implementation detail. What I can do to improve on this is to save the changelog namespace in this class, so that I can use it here directly, and avoid the re-conversion to string. Will do.
Yes, I like this approach. Give the user direct access to the changelog without making the whole underlying snapshot item public, very good compromise between the two approaches I suggested. Thanks so much @maurolacy! |

Related to #600 and #621.
To allow prefixing / iteration over the changelog entries.
