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.
I've heard that before, but I don't see how looking at git helps
anything here. If the issue is about conflict resolution, git's
ultimate answer when things get complicated is "punt it to a human",
just like every other revision control system out there. I don't think
we want that when dealing with a set of mailbox changes (in my view,
git's magic is how it manages sets of changes).
I will note that I've been doing shared calendars using iCloud with my
wife for a while, and the algorithm there seems to be:
a) pick a winner
b) let everyone know what the winning data is
Seems to work out fine in practice.
