A summary from before the changes were made:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposed_Database_Schema_Changes/October_2004

The final version is slightly different; text.old_id is no longer mapped
to rev_id, but to a separate rev_text_id, and inverse_timestamp is gone.
Some other tables have also changed; see the definitionis in
maintenance/tables.sql for more details.
