Ignoring some bugs in what we do have, what we don't support fully
includes:
- Merging
- The parts of Repeated Merge dealing with reflected/cyclic merging
(issues #2897 and #2837)
- Block/Unblock Changeset
- Parts of "Handle Renames" (some of which cmpilato has in progress)
- Properties
- Miscellaneous
- Authorization (I'm not sure about this one)

Issue #2897 is a core part of the Repeated Merge use case. Issue
#2837 is coupled (almost the same), but the plan was to defer that
part for post-1.5.
