Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 '''updates:'''

  * asynchronous fetch of revision diffs:
    * initial Collection fetch gets list of revisions with meta-data,
 including 'needs loading' flag for possible comparisons
    * literates thru revision models that need loading and fetches diffs
 for these models
    * even with many revisions, you can now start sliding almost
 immediately, spinners show until data loads
    * current code fetches all model data asynchronously, one call pre
 revision
    * revision fetches are throttled to 200ms to avoid hammering the server
 if there are lots of revisions, consider lazy loading?

  * hide 'compare two' option when only two revisions available (possible
 easter egg location?)
  * includes previous code patches, including ethitter's ajax-actions.patch
 and compare-two.patch corrections
