Adam,

As I said, there was a discusion on devel list, if you could not found
it on the history contact me and I try to find it for you.

The idea discussed is to mark every committed transaction as
transaction number 1 and start at number 2. (I say in a very simple way,
but the idea was more or less this)

see you !
