And how do we prevent this from happening in the future ? We can't rely on
people not deleting their stuff.

Brainstorming, haven't thought this stuff through ;

   The conduit's pre_sync is called.  
   It discovers an completely empty database.
   It sets a flags requesting "first sync"

1) Sync is synchronize
	then perform a SlowSync
2) Sync is merge to/from pilot
	then iterate over all records instead of new/modified.
3) Sync is copy from/to pilot
	Do nothing, solves itself

This would probably obsolete the current first_sync stuff.
