I'm at the moment patching the =org-babel-tangle= function, to act
appropriately to the =:tangle-sync <action>= requests.

It's harder than I thought, because the way the function currently
works is to populate a temporary buffer with source block contents and
then to overwrite the destination tangle file, i.e. it is unaware of
the tangled files contents during processing.

This is efficient, but works anathema to syncing changes in the
opposite direction, i.e. when a block requests =:tangle-sync import=.

I'm currently doing a small rewrite of the function that populates a
list of comments in the tangled file (restricted to stemming from the
source org file), and then either populates this temporary buffer with
the org mode source block contents or with the already tangled
contents (when "import" is given for that block).

I will submit a full patch with these changes (with properly detailed
commit messages) from the main branch in the next few days.
