To clarify, I feel that it's hackish compared to using the changelog
(were it reliable enough, which I'm not certain that it is right now)
plus a simple timestamp (marking when a user's interaction with the bug
began) to work out what happened when and which changes collide with
each other. Keeping a hash of the old state of the bug when we should
have a good record of it anyway (or at least a cumulative one) in the
database.
