It can also happen if the application has Akonadi::Item 's all over the place
in memory, and forgets to update them whenever the item changes in the server
side.

Then, when it executes an ItemModifyJob on one of these old Items, you'll see
the conflict dialog, because the item doesn't have the latest revision.

In Korg we store mostly Item::Id 's, then when we need the item we ask
the calendar, which has all the items and keeps them updated.
