I'm not going to get into the whole unmaintainable thing all over  
again because we'll end up lobbing bricks at each other, but the good  
thing is that there's barely any "reimplementing" required, because  
Potlatch already does all this (e.g. putway/deleteway have always  
compared against the latest version in the db, not against the  
previous download). Maybe changing about three lines of code, plus  
(obviously) calling whatever magic method now exists to start a new  
changeset.

No, but I'm not going to stop you!
