# not correct:

read tree1 into list1
read tree2 into list2
for each entry1 in list1 {
    compare entry1 with corresponding entry in list 2 // how to do this efficiently?

"I think we need to create cron management command (say, once per hour) or sync in a background task while login as you suggested to import data from git to django db. Also, we need to check for git conflicts while MDstatement is saving (pre_save signal) (return an error to a user if local git repo is outdated)."
>>So we need effectively an idempotent sync, that will be triggered by cron, login, and after save conflicts. Correct?

"'that we will need an API to add/modify/delete a MDstatement.'
Also, we need API for checkout status in this way."
>>Please explain. I thought, that an API-transaction (add/replace/delete) will be stateless, not requiring a checkout, only throwing an error if a lock exists.



ChangeView signal / API checkout method (create a new CheckOut status)
