Description Dani Megert CLA 2007-04-03 09:25:17 EDT 
I20070327-0800.

Revision.getColor() is speced differently than it is currently used and implemented.

The spec says:
/**
Returns the color definition to be used for this revision. The color may be used to visually distinguish one revision from another, for example as background color. The colors of any two revisions should be as distinct as possible.

@return the RGB color description for this revision
*/

But the implementation in fact returns a unique color for the author.

==>
deprecate getColor() and add getAuthorColor()
