[rt-users] Retrieving "OldReference" values from Transaction

[Gene LeDuc]

Don't you hate it when you wish you'd waited a few minutes before hitting 
the Send button?

Disregard my original request for help, I stumbled across the answer 
myself.  I was making things too complicated for myself by snooping in the 
database.  The RT code cleverly figures out whether it needs to undo a 
reference or just return a value from the table when you grab 
$self->TransactionObj->OldValue and returns whatever is appropriate.  Very 
nice!
