Isn't there the danger of losing data with this mechanism? Or am I missing some simple defense against such data loss? org-mobile-push could have been a read-only operation on the org files, but it creates the PROPERTIES drawer if missing. org-mobile-pull obviously writes into org files. So my fear is that in the worst case both of these can cause data loss. Does that make sense? thanks
