From my perspective, the ideal approach to keeping older backups at a
lower density than new ones would be writing code to be able to merge
reverse-diffs, such that two historical diffs could be replaced with
only one containing the changes from both -- and excluding the
intermediate changes from an item which changed multiple times between
the merged set.
Anything else requires storing extra or redundant information beyond
what is currently done now.
