Random thoughts:

  * Plink.isprim changed to record:
     +  child is the principal descendent of parent. (1)
     +  child is a branch from parent (2)
     +  child uses parent as a merge (0)

  * website can toggle isprim between principal and branch.
     + How to preserve across rebuild.  A new record type?
     + How to share with other repositories
  * isprim guessed using userid of parent and child.  Change
    in id suggests a branch.  Same id suggests principal.
    For a tie, go with the earliest check-in as the principal'

  * Autosync mode
     * Notes:
       + Designed to avoid branching in highly collaborative 
         environments.
     * Outstanding:
       + On commit, first pull.  If commit baseline is not a tip
         prompt user to cancel or branch.  Default is cancel.
       + Need an "undo" capability
     * Done:
       * Set a preferred remote repository to use as a server
          =  Clone repository is the default
       * Push after commit
       * Automatically pull prior to update.

  * Archeological webpage improvements:
     + Use a small amount of CSS+javascript on timelines so that
       branching structure is displayed on mouseover.  On mouseover
       of a checkin, highlight other checkins that are direct (non-merge)
       descendents and ancestors of the mouseover checkin.
     + Timeline showing individual branches
     + Timeline shows forks and merges
     + Tags shown on timeline (maybe) and in vinfo (surely).

Features needed:
  * Means to suppress artifacts
  * Means to cap a branch
  * Ticketing
     +  Problem is/is-not expressed in baseline X.
     +  Append comment and zero or more attachments
  * Modify comments on baselines
  * Append comments to any artifact
  * Wiki?

  

Extended manifests.
  * normal manifest has:
       C comment
       D date-time
       F* filename uuid
       P uuid ...           -- omitted for first manifest

  * Change the comment on a version:   -- always a leaf except in cluster
       D date-time
       E new-comment

       U user-login
