Looks OK. Did we really have to add a V1?

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebBackForwardList.cpp:266
> +        // And if that's the case we should also not have any entries.
> +        ASSERT(m_entries.isEmpty());

This assertion is pointless. The code above already returned if m_entries.size() was <= 1 so this assertion can never be hit.

So if we want to assert something, we should assert currentItem before this impossible if statement.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebBackForwardList.cpp:268
> +        // But just in case it does happen in practice we should get back in to a consistent state now.

Typo: Should be "into" not "in to".

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/cf/WebBackForwardListCF.cpp:112
> +    ASSERT(currentIndex == -1 || (currentIndex > -1 && currentIndex < CFArrayGetCount(entries.get())));

I would have written >= 0 rather than > -1).

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/cf/WebBackForwardListCF.cpp:113
> +    if (currentIndex < -1 || (currentIndex > -1 && currentIndex >= CFArrayGetCount(entries.get()))) {

Either you should write this exactly like the assertion, or more simply like this:

    if (currentIndex < -1 || currentIndex >= CFArrayGetCount(entries.get()))

The check for currentIndex > -1 does not add anything.

I like how much stricter we get to be in the V1 code because we get to differentiate the "has no current item index" case.

All other comments accounted for before landing.  Thanks!
