[coldsync-hackers] syncing of creation/modification dates

[Pierre Phaneuf <pp at ludusdesign dot com>]

I'm in the process of writing a Plucker fetch conduit, and it is working 
pretty nicely, except for one thing...

Plucker creates a cache file on the Palm during usage, and updating a 
Plucker document should invalidates this cache. The problem is that 
Plucker invalidates that cache when the creation date on a document 
changes, but neither the creation or the modification date are updated 
by the generic conduit!

I could go and add this in GenericConduit.cc, but I wanted to check 
first if that would be the best way to go at it.

Another more general idea for conduits would be to have a "declined" 
return code for sync conduits, a bit in the spirit of Apache handlers, 
so that you could do some work, but not all, and let other conduits 
(like the generic conduit!) have at it. This would make a sync conduit 
that updates the creation date and then does a regular sync very easy 
and not require adding the behavior to the generic conduit.
