;;; Todo:
;;;; New Primitives:
;;
;; - deal with push/pull operations.
;;
;; - "snapshots" should be renamed to "branches", and thoroughly reworked.
;; - add a mechanism for editing the underlying VCS's list of files
;; to be ignored, when that's possible.
;;
;; - when a file is in `conflict' state, turn on smerge-mode.
;;;; Improved branch and tag handling:
;;
;; - figure out what to do with conflicts that are not caused by the
;; file contents, but by metadata or other causes. Example: File A
;; gets renamed to B in one branch and to C in another and you merge
;; the two branches. Or you locally add file FOO and then pull a
;; change that also adds a new file FOO, ...
