@blackeggs@infosec.exchange As a silly example, suppose there's a snapshot where all the logged changes were writes to the same byte location. The only thing you ultimately have to care about for the snapshot is the initial value of the overwritten byte from the last snapshot, so everything else can be tossed. It's more or less log compaction but you don't have to use the same representation for the most recent op log and the snapshot log, if that makes sense.
