Bug Description
Binary package hint: tomboy
When managing a set of notes between several machines, syncing should be a useful way to make sure that all the notes are the same between systems, a la SVN/CVS version control. Instead, the "merging" algorithm is just to either delete the local note or rename it every time there is a remote change. This makes synchronising painful to say the least, since the changes are usually of a sort that could be seamlessly merged, again a la SVN/CVS.
Using e.g. the SVN or Bazaar merging algorithm to merge remote and local copies and to highlight potential conflicts is necessary before this feature is really usable.
