   Thanks @syun64 for raising this. I agree with @HonahX that setting it to 
`-1` is not a good idea, for mainly two reasons:
   
   - There are two options for representing saying that the 
`current-snapshot-id` should be ignored, both `-1` and `None`. 
   - Where `-1` does not point to a valid snapshot.
   
   However Java is the reference implementation, we should not blindly follow 
everything that they did there. There are some things in there that we can 
improve on since we don't carry the full history that Java does. Can you 
elaborate on why you need this change?
