Currently, new comments are named with an incrementing ID (comment_N). So
|
|
if a wiki has multiple disconnected servers, and comments are made to the
|
|
same page on both, merging is guaranteed to result in conflicts.
|
|
|
|
I propose avoiding such merge problems by naming a comment with a sha1sum
|
|
of its (full) content. Keep the incrementing ID too, so there is an
|
|
-ordering. And so duplicate comments are allowed..)
|
|
So, "comment_N_SHA1".
|
|
|
|
Note: The comment body will need to use meta title in the case where no
|
|
title is specified, to retain the current behavior of the default title
|
|
being "comment N".
