[SyncEvolution] Memotoo + EXDATE
Hello Thomas!
I have extended my test data a bit and noticed one issue: if a recurring
event has two detached recurrences, then the Memotoo server only sets
one EXDATE. Even more, it removes the second EXDATE if one was already
set (which isn't necessary in iCalendar 2.0).
Here's the data that is sent in Adds (in this order):

What comes back from the server is a recurring parent event without the EXDATE:20080420.
Two comments:
1. EXDATE:20080420 should have a VALUE=DATE, because the default
format is DATE-TIME in EXDATE. Fixed in SyncEvolution's
Synthesis XML data format config, but didn't help with the
problem above.
2. The ordering is a bit weird. The original goal was to send
changes pertaining to the parent first, not interleaved between
changes of childs as done here. Ah, my first detached recurrence
has the wrong UID - somehow a -mod was attached to it. Still,
that doesn't explain the removal of the EXDATE:20080420 and
fixing it doesn't change anything.
Thomas, do you have an idea?
