Sorry, I don't know. I think the timelines are only there for safety if

Thanks for the helpful answers.
Two follow up questions which, if they can be answered, will save some time before I go testing random theories.
Is there a way to bump a database up a timeline version without specifying the exact timeline version of interest? Apparently doing a rebase from a database which has incremented its own timeline from doing a recovery does at least this.
Is it possible to interpret the requested file and ignore the timeline digits and provide a file from some other timeline? Or is the timeline mean more than just the file name?
