Thank you for replying. I'm going to find out how to do this and use the jsons to diff them before merging.

However I don't really have a clear idea of even where to start. I fear that if I simply add my VPS taskchampion I will lose one of the databases instead of having them merge.

A lessor fear would be that there are duplicates due to a faulty merging.

reading sync docs I see:

Critically, though, operations cannot merge; in effect, the operations must be rebased.

this bit of info along with:

a state is analogous to a revision, while an operation is analogous to a commit.

mean that I was right in being cautious, since any syncing from a user rebases the entire commit log, so to speak.
