The other approach would be to hold a list of the events that have
happened during a transaction, and have a simple set of rules (regular
grammar, implemented as a state machine, or regular expression) for
condensing a list of events into the overall description of the event.
I just made this regular grammar up without thinking particularly hard
about them. The letters D, C, A stand for Delete, Change and Add
respectively. "C*" means zero or more repeated "C".
C* : C
CA : A
DA : C
AC : A
C*D : D
AD : D
Then again, if you can't think of any but the most unlikely exceptions
to the current simple algorithm, I'll go with that :-)
