/**
 * The SyncEvolution configuration is versioned, so that incompatible
 * changes to the on-disk config and files can be made more reliably.
 *
 * The on-disk configuration is versioned at three levels:
 * - root level
 * - context
 * - peer
 *
 * This granularity allows migrating individual peers, contexts or
 * everything to a new format.
 *
 * For each of these levels, two numbers are stored on disk and
 * hard-coded in the binary:
 * - current version = incremented each time the format is extended
 * - minimum version = set to current version each time a backwards
 *                     incompatible change is made
 *
 * This mirrors the libtool library versioning.
 *
 * Reading must check that the on-disk minimum version is <= the
 * binary's current version. Otherwise the config is too recent to
 * be used.
 *
 * Writing will bump minimum and current version on disk to the
 * versions in the binary. It will never decrease versions. This
 * works when the more recent format adds information that can
 * be safely ignored by older releases. If that is not possible,
 * then the "minimum" version must be increased to prevent older
 * releases from using the config.
 *
 * If bumping the versions increases the minimum version
 * beyond the version supported by the release which wrote the config,
 * that release will no longer work. Experimental releases will throw
 * an error and users must explicitly migrate to the current
 * format. Stable releases will migrate automatically.
 *
 * The on-disks current version can be checked to determine how to
 * handle it. It may be more obvious to simple check for the existence
 * of certain properties (that's how this was handled before the
 * introduction of versioning).
 *
 * Here are some simple rules for handling the versions:
 * - increase CUR version when adding new properties or files
 * - set MIN to CUR when it is not safe that older releases
 *   read and write a config with the current format
 *
 * SyncEvolution < 1.2 had no versioning. It's format is 0.
 * SyncEvolution 1.2:
 * - config peer min/cur version 1, because
 *   of modified libsynthesis binfiles and
 * - context min/cur version 1, because
 *   evolutionsource->database, evolutionuser/password->databaseUser/Password

 * additional code to read and write the property from/to a
 * ConfigNode. They might also one or more  of the properties
 * on the fly, therefore the virtual get methods which return a
 * string value and not just a reference.
 *
 * In addition to the name, it may also have aliases. When reading
 * from a ConfigNode, all specified names are checked in the order in
 * which they are listed, and the first one found is used. When
 * writing, an existing key is overwritten, otherwise the main name is
 * created as a new key.
 *
 * A default value is returned if the ConfigNode doesn't have
 * a value set (= empty string). Invalid values in the configuration
 * trigger an exception. Setting invalid values does not because
 * it is not known where the value comes from - the caller should
 * check it himself.
 *
 * Properties are either registered as source properties or
 * source-independent sync properties. In each of these two sets of
 * properties, the names must be unique.
 *
 * Properties can be either user-visible (and editable) or
 * internal. Internal properties are used to cache some information
 * and may get lost when copying configurations. Therefore it
 * must be possible to recreate them somehow, if necessary with
 * an expensive operation like a slow sync.
 *
 * Starting with SyncEvolution 1.0, the internal storage of
 * property values was reorganized so that some properties
 * can be shared between peers. The concept of two property
 * sets (source and sync properties) was preserved because of
 * the simplicity that it brings to the APIs. Now this concept
 * is implemented by mapping properties into "views" that
 * contain the properties relevant for a particular peer.
 * Setting a shared value in one view updates the value in
 * another. For details, see:
 * http://syncevolution.org/development/configuration-handling
 *
 * As in the migration from the Sync4j config layout (internal and
 * user-visible properties in the same file), the code is written so
 * that properties are mapped to config nodes according to the most
 * recent layout. Older layouts are accessed by using the same config
 * node instance multiple times.

/**
 * This class implements the client library configuration interface
 * by mapping values to properties to entries in a ConfigTree. The
 * mapping is either the traditional one used by SyncEvolution <= 0.7
 * and client library <= 6.5 or the new layout introduced with
 * SyncEvolution >= 0.8. If for a given server name the old config
 * exists, then it is used. Otherwise the new layout is used.
 *
 * This class can be instantiated on its own and then provides access
 * to properties actually stored in files. SyncContext
 * inherits from this class so that a derived client has the chance to
 * override every single property (although it doesn't have to).
 * Likewise SyncSource is derived from
 * SyncSourceConfig.
 *
 * Properties can be set permanently (this changes the underlying
 * ConfigNode) and temporarily (this modifies the FilterConfigNode
 * which wraps the ConfigNode).
 *
 * The old layout is:
 * - $HOME/.sync4j/evolution/<server>/spds/syncml/config.txt
 * -- spds/sources/<source>/config.txt
 * ---                      changes_<changeid>/config.txt
 *
 * The new layout is:
 * - ${XDG_CONFIG:-${HOME}/.config}/syncevolution/foo - base directory for server foo
 * -- config.ini - constant per-server settings
 * -- .internal.ini - read/write server properties - hidden from users because of the leading dot
 * -- sources/bar - base directory for source bar
 * --- config.ini - constant per-source settings
 * --- .internal.ini - read/write source properties
 * --- .changes_<changeid>.ini - change tracking node (content under control of sync source)
 *
 * Because this class needs to handle different file layouts it always
 * uses a FileConfigTree instance. Other implementations would be
 * possible.
