Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 note:  the current save revisions  code compares the passed data to the
 current post data and if there is no change doesn't store a revision (see
 #7392 and #9843). 16215.2.diff​ would break that. if we are storing the
 revision after the post is updated we need a different way to check for
 changes. i will work on that.

 can we consider at fixing existing data during an upgrade instead of on
 the fly?

 also: for testing this patch, its hard to see the issue until you restore
 a revision and get the wrong one. the current list of revisions _looks_
 right before and after the patch, but restoring a previous revisions
 demonstrates the mis-match.
