'''
A versioning plugin for Elixir.

Entities that are marked as versioned with the `acts_as_versioned` statement
will automatically have a history table created and a timestamp and version
column added to their tables. In addition, versioned entities are provided
with four new methods: revert, revert_to, compare_with and get_as_of, and one
new attribute: versions.  Entities with compound primary keys are supported.

The `versions` attribute will contain a list of previous versions of the
instance, in increasing version number order.

The `get_as_of` method will retrieve a previous version of the instance "as of"
a specified datetime. If the current version is the most recent, it will be
returned.

The `revert` method will rollback the current instance to its previous version,
if possible. Once reverted, the current instance will be expired from the
session, and you will need to fetch it again to retrieve the now reverted
instance.

The `revert_to` method will rollback the current instance to the specified
version number, if possibe. Once reverted, the current instance will be expired
from the session, and you will need to fetch it again to retrieve the now
reverted instance.

The `compare_with` method will compare the instance with a previous version. A
dictionary will be returned with each field difference as an element in the
dictionary where the key is the field name and the value is a tuple of the
format (current_value, version_value). Version instances also have a
`compare_with` method so that two versions can be compared.

Also included in the module is a `after_revert` decorator that can be used to
decorate methods on the versioned entity that will be called following that
instance being reverted.

The acts_as_versioned statement also accepts an optional `ignore` argument
that consists of a list of strings, specifying names of fields.  Changes in
those fields will not result in a version increment.  In addition, you can
pass in an optional `check_concurrent` argument, which will use SQLAlchemy's
built-in optimistic concurrency mechanisms.

Note that relationships that are stored in mapping tables will not be included
as part of the versioning process, and will need to be handled manually. Only
values within the entity's main table will be versioned into the history table.
