Sounds good!

We'll need to make sure that it handles this case:
Say C syncs from B, then B syncs from A and get some new docs.  Now A
goes away for a while... it seems like C will need to get the new docs
from B next time it syncs.  If the docs that B got from A are treated
like any other new additions, this should work right?
