Method get_contents_for_revision

  ``string` get_contents_for_revision(`string`|`Revision` `rev`, `void`|`bool` `dont_cache_data`)`

Description

  Returns the file contents from the revision `rev`, without performing any keyword expansion. If `dont_cache_data` is set we will not keep intermediate revisions in memory unless they already existed. This will cut down memory use at the expense of slow access to older revisions.
