In order to avoid mismatches between Chandler code and repository data I've added a simple 'schema version' string (defined at the top of Application.py) which is checked against the value stored in the 'version' attribute of //parcels. If there is a mismatch a dialog will be displayed. This is just a temporary fix until we handle schema migration. Since we haven't had this version string in place before, the very first time you run with this new check in place you will get the dialog box even if your repository is actually in sync with your code. From then on, however, the version checking should work as expected.

So whenever you modify the content model in an incompatible*** way, you should increment SCHEMA_VERSION at the top of Application.py.

*** "incompatible" needs to be better defined/tested, but assume that adding a new Kind is a compatible change while modifying a Kind (as in adding/removing attributes) is incompatible.
