These are high-level questions that can be addressed after reintegrating
the branch.

I'd consider the branch done as soon as both backends store successors
of each node-revision, and are able to return the list of immediate
successors of a given node-revision. We must also have some basic unit
tests to show that it works.

At that point I'd like to merge into trunk and continue development there.

One other remaining item is in-place upgrades.
I'd like to optionally support in-place upgrades instead of requiring
users to dump/load.
