I thought the whole point of a pegrev was that it allowed history
tracing without me having to do the legwork of finding out what the URL
was in a previous revision.

Another data point for you:
I have made a small change to the recipe on line 15. If I modify
TestB.txt instead of TestA.txt, the following diff works across the name
change. This makes me think there is more to this than first appears.
