OK, another proposal:

        note_netsync_incoming(new_id, certs)
                Monotone will call this function once for each new
                incoming manifest, sorted in ancestry order, oldest
                first.  If a manifest has several ancestors, each
                string of ancestors will be followed backwards in
                turn.

                new_id is the identity of one manifest, certs is a lua
                table containing a set of certificate names and values
                attached to this manifest.

        note_netsync_outgoing(id, certs)
                Monotone will call this function once for each
                manifest that has been sent to another database,
                sorted in ancestry order, oldest first.  If a manifest
                has several ancestors, each string of ancestors will
                be followed backwards in turn.

                new_id is the identity of one manifest, certs is a lua
                table containing a set of certificate names and values
                attached to this manifest.
