yes, it is. this branch removes all the manifest analysis/inference
code and replaces it with a systematic relationship between MT/work
and the edges between revisions stored in the database, such that an
add/rename/delete only comes to pass when you have explicitly said
so and recorded it in MT/work.

unfortunately this branch is also incomplete. I'm working on it. I'll
be committing some more stuff later tonight but it's still a ways from
working.
