 support for syncing?  I don't feel strongly about this, because we're
 going to add syncing support really soon.  But just in case you say "oh
 wow, I totally forgot to take them out, let me fix that!", okay.  Either
 way works for me.

 Again, don't feel strongly.

 -first-sync-2&id=02681a4d9722bfb21516693366be194c90910e5b here] (amended).

 Cherry-picked and pushed to master.  Thanks!

 > >  - Totally unrelated to this commit: should we kill the updateindex
 module and instead have an `IndexManager` with a `synchronized update()`
 method that gets called at the end of each module?  Happy to move this to
 another ticket, but it just came to mind while looking at all the
 options...
 >
 > Currently, there is also the create tars script changing the file
 structure.  This should become java code.  => new ticket?

 Yes, please.

 > Index-update could then be changed from being a module into a feature of
 module runs.  => second ticket?

 Yes, please.
