3.6.3 Excluded Deltas

Excluding a delta is, unsurprisingly, more or less the opposite of including one. The exclusion of a delta supercedes the inclusion of a delta. One might specify, for example, that delta 1.6 should exclude delta 1.5 (for example to back out of any changes it made). Exclusion can also be used to reverse the effect of an inclusion. Suppose that delta 1.6 in the example from the section above excludes 1.3.1.5, then 1.6 will include the contents of deltas 1.1 through to 1.4, plus the contents of delta 1.5 itself, but it will not include the data from the 1.3.1 branch that would have been used if we had gotten delta 1.5.
