What is so extreme about what I am doing?
isync's purpose is to keep both sides in sync. MaxMessages is a
deviation from that. when you push that number down to zero, that's
_literally_ extreme, and you've gone from syncing to fetching.
Why is this such a difficult task for isync?
because MaxMessage doesn't really fit the basic scheme, its
implementation actually comes at a rather significant cost in
complexity; it's easily the most difficult part of the whole codebase.
i don't know if it would be difficult to make it support zero; it might
just work with a few minor changes. patches (with autotests) welcome.
