A question: Say you have this on the journal: File1: AppendTransaction TX=1, ID=1, data File2: AppendTransaction TX=1, ID=2, data File3: Commit FileN: Current Say, now I'm compacting File1, 2 and 3. I think I don't need to keep the append1 and 2 as transactions. I could just: Append ID=1, Append ID=2. I don't see any reason to keep the transaction after compacting, since the record is already confirmed. Can you think of any reason?
