The name of the function is slightly confusing, but it's not about
rotating faces at all -- it's about changing the marking of changes that
are at age 1 to age 2 etc. As the doc string says:
---
Current changes are displayed in the face described by the first element
of `highlight-changes-face-list', one level older changes are shown in
face described by the second element, and so on. Very old changes remain
shown in the last face in the list.
---
I've now clarified the doc string even more in Emacs 29. (I considered
renaming the command, but it's a command used in user hooks, so I think
that would be even more confusing.)
