Was working on creating an API method that would tap into the blacklist hooks, surprisingly could not trigger them. Noedit needed to be on? So blacklists don't work automatically with upload from stash?? Perhaps I am missing some config here.

Triaged bugs w/ Kaldari, Alolita. Removed many, assigned some.

re: bug 26179... Tried various ways to fix this. Thought it could be handled with simple client side API call spacing, but every method I've tried so far comes up short or has its own race conditions. This is lame, either we take 5x the time we need to, or we have to endure one-at-a-time uploads.

Worked a bit on fixing this problem once and for all with a database-backed uploadstash-- got pretty close, shoved results into new branch (uploadwizard-db-backend). Killed old branch (uploadwizard-backend) since updating it just was taking too long. Created this branch in Dec and already with 1.17 I get complex conflicts. Hard to understand how I can get conflcts on a branch with no local modifications but that's subversion for you.
