--- Comment #7 from Daniel Vrátil <dvratil at redhat.com> ---
Moving items between two resources has a major weakness: it is split into two
separated operations - in the resource that we are moving the item from the
operation is translated into "remove", in the destination resource it is
translated into "insert". The problem is that when "insert" fails, we have no
way of reverting the "remove", because it has happened in a different process
and so data are lost.

Good news: this will be solved with server-side change recording, once I
implement it :)
Bad news: I don't think it can be easily worked around in the meanwhile.
