There are a lot of functions and variables doing similar things.
Document the role and functionality of each to make it easier to
grok.

     the underlying revision storage object
 
     A revlog consists of two parts, an index and the revision data.
 
     The index is a file with a fixed record size containing
     information on each revision, including its nodeid (hash), the
     nodeids of its parents, the position and offset of its data within
     the data file, and the revision it's based on. Finally, each entry
     contains a linkrev entry that can serve as a pointer to external
     data.
 
     The revision data itself is a linear collection of data chunks.
     Each chunk represents a revision and is usually represented as a
     delta against the previous chunk. To bound lookup time, runs of
     deltas are limited to about 2 times the length of the original
     version data. This makes retrieval of a version proportional to
     its size, or O(1) relative to the number of revisions.
 
     Both pieces of the revlog are written to in an append-only
     fashion, which means we never need to rewrite a file to insert or
     remove data, and can use some simple techniques to avoid the need
     for locking while reading.
