Raw Normal View History

/**
* TODO For now, this is just a placeholder for an actual ActionHistory implementation that should
* replace today's ActionLog. It defines all the methods that are expected from it by Sharing.ts.
*
* In addition, it will need to support some methods to show action history to the user, which is
* the main purpose of ActionLog today. And it will need to allow querying a subset of history (at
* least by table or record).
*
* The main difference with today's ActionLog is that it needs to mark actions either with labels,
* or more likely with Git-like branches, so that we can distinguish shared, local-sent, and
* local-unsent actions. And it needs to work on LocalActionBundles, which include more
* information than what ActionLog stores. On the other hand, it can probably store actions as
* blobs, which can simplify the database storage.
