The SyncML module in Horde responds to a conflict situation (item edited on
both the server and the client since the last synchronization) with "first
synchronization wins". This means the client will usually overwrite any
modifications done on the server as the client usually synchs first during
a synchronization run.

The attached patch will respond to such conflicts with a duplication of
the conflicting element. I believe this is preferable over possible data
loss. If necessary it could also be made configurable.
