How to reproduce:

  1. Fresh new install of Drupal. Make sure you're only logged in as user 1.
  2. Enable diff 1.1 and no other modules. (At this point, the only configuration changes should be setting up user 1 and enabling that module.)
  3. Create a story with the following body: This is revision 1 of my story.
  4. Edit the same story, but change the 1 to a 2: This is revision 2 of my story.
  5. Notice how the Revisions tab does not show after saving the second revision.

Are there any dependencies that aren't clearly stated?

you have to check the 'save revision' checkbox when editing a node. if you don't you get the behavior you do now

Thanks. Changing to a documentation request to get this in the documentation.

Any way to get it in the user interface in addition to the documentation?

we could throw a warning in hook_requirements() if none of your content types default to saving revisions.

#5: "add a warning" would be nice, and preferably add a line like the below to the description section of the readme.txt?

"After enabling the module, make sure the desired content types are set to save revisions by default. (admin/content/types)"

Added the following to readme.txt in dev

It is strongly advised that you also enable the automatic creation of revisions on any content types you want to use this with. (e.g. 'admin/structure/types/manage/article/edit' Publishing options, enable Create new revision)
