This is something that existing systems like CVS and unison already
deal with.  When I decide to sync, the software would inform me about
any editing conflicts, and I would have to either resolve them or
discard my own changes.  The edit conflict could be moved to my local
copy, so I could resolve it offline and commit it the next time I'm
online (provided the same page hasn't changed again, in which case
there would be a new editing conflict).  My offline software would
need a "recent conflicts" listing.  :-)  As I said, this would be a
major software change.  But it is still a sweet dream, isn't it?

Which is fine.  The current system would still work as it does today.
