This is a pretty good idea. It's been on my ToDo list for some
time now, but due to the way that I implement the synchronization
it's a bit tricky. I don't actually precalculate all the changes
before doing them -- I make each change one at a time. This
makes counting difficult. Of course there are ways to deal with
this but it's not a trivial change.
I am *very* interested in the original bug. When has
PilotManager trashed your Sun calendar? Is this because you
blew away your Pilot datebook and then re-synced? I have
implemented a feature to allow you to reset SyncCM if you make a
major change to either side so that it is forced to rebuild the
SyncCM database (and not do massive deletes).
I'm not getting a lot of feedback about SyncCM right now. I know
that's partially because we're all busy folks, but if you don't
file a bug I can't fix it. The extra controls to find out what's
going wrong are good -- but I'd rather fix the circumstance that's
causing it to go wrong and not just the symptoms.
Thanks,

P.S. The sun CM callog file is a log. For every appointment there's
an "add" line. When an appointment is deleted there's a
"remove" line. If you want to un-delete an appointment, just
get rid of the "remove" line and kill rpc.cmsd. The appointment
will reappear.
