Item10689: getRevisionHistory always calls rcs

I'm not sure that this is desireable. (Crawford, please comment)

At this point, I'm commiting a test change that adds a store listener to allow me to make the mongodb requests not do that. however, I have also added commented out code in Meta that also avoids calling rcs if isLatestLoaded - I'm not 100% sure this is correct per the current Store design - *help*

Absolutely it's not desirable. However to know that you have a history, you have to have a version number that you can trust; and if you can't trust the one in the cache .txt file, your only option is to use RCS. So if you have a store that can be trusted to deliver a believable rev number for the latest rev, then you don't have to read the history (iff that rev is 1, of course)

I'm not sure I can contribute to this task, except to help testing. Removing myself from WaitingFor. Please add me again if you want something tested.

The listener work was all reverted by Item9715. Closing this task
