  Tomboy syncing should use a proper merging algorithm

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tomboy

  When managing a set of notes between several machines, syncing should
  be a useful way to make sure that all the notes are the same between
  systems, a la SVN/CVS version control. Instead, the "merging"
  algorithm is just to either delete the local note or rename it every
  time there is a remote change. This makes synchronising painful to say
  the least, since the changes are usually of a sort that could be
  seamlessly merged, again a la SVN/CVS.

  Using e.g. the SVN or Bazaar merging algorithm to merge remote and
  local copies and to highlight potential conflicts is necessary before
  this feature is really usable.
