Item10121: Revision scheme that allows jumping the revisions numbers

No sain person will ever do this to our users.
It is utterly mad. And totally unacceptable. And unnecessary.

-Where revision parameters are required, individual versions are identified by positive, non-zero integers. Older revisions always have lower numbers, but numbers cannot be assumed to be sequential, nor can the first version of a topic be assumed to be version 1. For compatibility reasons, Some scripts accept revision numbers with '1.' (or even 'r1.') prepended to the number, but this usage is deprecated and should be corrected when encountered.

 Despite the name, this script doesn't actually attach a file to a topic - for that, use =upload=. This script is part of the transactions sequence executed when a file is uploaded from the browser. it just generates the "new attachment" page for a topic.

-Topic and attachment versions are identified by positive, non-zero, integer numbers. Older revisions always have smaller numbers, but numbers cannot be assumed to be sequential, nor can you assume that the first revision of a topic will be revision 1. For example, you might have a topic history that runs like this:
-
-=84 > 95 > 1001 > 7690=
-
-where 84 is the first version and 7690 the most recent.
