Overview
This implements the first iteration of History Comment Sync.
Implementation notes
This first iteration uses a somewhat naive interactive comment sync which consists of a linear scan of all comments on the spine of the provided causal, followed by negotiating which of the comments and revisions each side needs.
Interesting/controversial decisions
This may prove to be slow on some branches, we have a follow up planned, but it involves implementing Merkle Search Trees which are not trivial to implement efficiently.
