*ahum*, working hard on this. Martyn is slave driving me too :)

Checkout the branch ontology-cope, the code is actually written. What
remains is a unit test and some serious, damn f. serious testing.

As it's quite complicated stuff, again.

To test btw:

tracker-store
ctrl+c tracker-store
change the ontology
tracker-store
insert some things that use the new ontology
delete some things that used the new ontology
ctrl+c tracker-store
change the ontology
tracker-store
insert some thing that use the new ontology
delete some things that used the new ontology
ctrl+c tracker-store
etc

Now

cd $HOME/.cache/tracker
rm meta.db

tracker-store

Your entire database should still be correct ;-)

(not saying it works, just saying I coded the theory in 'ontology-cope')
