Only time for a quick look right now, but I still think you should use
Note.LoadForeignNoteXml instead of setting note.XmlContent and
note.Title (it picks up a bunch of other metadata, whereas XmlContent
just picks up stuff in the content area).
Going to play with this soon, want to get it in git ASAP.
BTW, does anybody else feel weird writing "git" all lower-case, after
years of "CVS" and "SVN"? :-P
