/**
 * Provides access to {@link CDORevision revisions} in a CDO {@link CDOCommonRepository repository} by demand loading
 * and caching them.
 * <p>
 * Revisions are generally queried by:
 * <p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>their object {@link CDOID ID} <b>and</b>
 * <li>their {@link CDOBranch branch} plus <b>either</b>:
 * <ul>
 * <li>a timestamp <b>or</b>
 * <li>a version
 * </ul>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * If querying by timestamp it's also possible to ask for multiple revisions (identified by a list of object IDs) in one
 * round trip (to the server if this revision manager is contained by a {@link CDOCommonSession session} or to the
 * backend store if it is contained by a {@link CDOCommonRepository repository}.
