decided on the best way for handling edit conflicts that occur when
synchronising a queue of offline edits with the server. Do you have any
ideas for how to deal with them?
I was thinking of doing a regular edit submission of each
offline-edited page, with the edit token faked to refer to the
revision id of the version as previosuly dumped and as
offline-edited. That way, I figured, I could piggyback on the
regular old edit conflict resolution mechanism. (I had an idea
that the edit token was basically the revision id and that it
could therefore be easily faked; though I'm not sure that was a
valid assumption.)
