Details

In situations like "wipe server then reupload", other clients might jump in and see missing data and start doing stuff. There's a temporary fix of having new clients wait 15 seconds if the syncid changes, but some actions like reuploading all of history can take a while.
Target Milestone: --- → 2.0
Bug 609202 has some thoughts on upgrade related races.
Target Milestone: 2.0 → ---
Once the server properly handles X-If-Unmodified-Since after DELETEs, we can use those to at least detect race conditions and prevent further damage. See bug 692700.
Depends on: 692700

I'm happy duping this.
