 	/**
+	 * Walks manifest revisions that correspond to specified range of changesets. The order in which manifest versions get reported
+	 * to the inspector corresponds to physical order of manifest revisions, not that of changesets (with few exceptions as noted below).
+	 * That is, for cset-manifest revision pairs:
+	 * <pre>
+	 *   3  8
+	 *   4  7
+	 *   5  9
+	 * </pre>
+	 * call <code>walk(3,5, insp)</code> would yield (4,7), (3,8) and (5,9) to the inspector; 
+	 * different order of arguments, <code>walk(5, 3, insp)</code>, makes no difference.
+	 * 
+	 * <p>Physical layout of mercurial files (revlog) doesn't impose any restriction on whether manifest and changeset revisions shall go 
+	 * incrementally, nor it mandates presence of manifest version for a changeset. Thus, there might be changesets that record {@link Nodeid#NULL}
+	 * as corresponding manifest revision. This situation is deemed exceptional now and what would <code>inspector</code> get depends on whether 
+	 * <code>start</code> or <code>end</code> arguments point to such changeset, or such changeset happen to be somewhere inside the range 
+	 * <code>[start..end]</code>. Implementation does it best to report empty manifests (<code>Inspector.begin(BAD_REVISION, NULL, csetRevIndex);</code>
+	 * followed immediately by <code>Inspector.end(BAD_REVISION)</code> when <code>start</code> and/or <code>end</code> point to changeset with no associated 
+	 * manifest revision. However, if changeset-manifest revision pairs look like:
+	 * <pre>
+	 *   3  8
+	 *   4  -1 (cset records null revision for manifest)
+	 *   5  9
+	 * </pre>
+	 * call <code>walk(3,5, insp)</code> would yield only (3,8) and (5,9) to the inspector, without additional empty 
+	 * <code>Inspector.begin(); Inspector.end()</code> call pair.
