But that describes a simple 1:1 mapping case.  Nothing there says the
proof extends to the 1:n mapping case (i.e. multiple clients).

Fair enough ... I'm just trying to imagine exactly a) what "conflicting"
clients would be doing, exactly, to conflict, and b) what SHOULD happen
when a conflict occurs.  As I understand it, the messages are immutable,
so there's no issue in terms of two clients changing a message.

For anyone who's looking to implement something new, I think that
git's internal architecture might be a good starting place, written
in C.  In slightly related news, I looked at notmuch recently, and
it made me miss MH.
