It sounds to me like what you need to do is recognize and skip your tool's edits, not null edits generally.
If these are all created by a particular user account, for instance, that should be pretty straightforward: compare the user ID value and skip
the
revision.
A good idea, I'll make a mandatory account name for synchronization. Probably should work, however is there any way to disable "interactive" edits for some particular account while allowing it to use Import / Export and API in general? I'll check whether denying 'edit' action for synchronization account still would allow to perform "automatic" import. Otherwise, one can only hope that synchronization bot account will not be misused for ordinary edits (which should not be skipped from synchronization). Anyway, I can provide such warning at the extension page, at least. Dmitriy
