CoFi's remote proxy exports
documents to their native storage to enable information sharing with
clients outside of the CoFi system and to leverage the mechanisms that
these storage systems may implement (e.g., availability, fault
tolerance, security, etc). Before exporting modifications, CoFi needs
to detect if the native store has been modified by an application
outside of CoFi's control. CoFi detects and resolves conflicts
created by out-of-band modifications using similar mechanisms to those
explained above (i.e., by comparing the last-known and current states
of the native store).
