 #
-# * Same as for evlogv2 (but for the reduction of the number of files)
+# * Same as for revlogv2 (but for the reduction of the number of files)
+# * Actually computing the rank of changesets
 # * Improvement to investigate

-#   - storing `rank` of changesets
 #   - storing branch related identifier
