This PR attempts to avoid excessively large delta file (and changes count) being uploaded to QFieldCloud for vector layer features being used in tracking sessions.
The logic goes as follows: if a feature being updated is confirmed by the tracking model as part of an ongoing tracking session, new code attempts to find a geometry-only patch; if we find one, we update the new geometry with the latest geometry from the current tracking session.This makes the cloud experience tracker-friendly while not disrupting any logic on non-tracked features/layers.The logic goes as follows: if a feature being updated had a previous patch inserted into the deltas, we update that patch with the latest geometry/attribute changes. A few benefits from this approach include:
@suricactus , @m-kuhn , as discussed yesterday.
@GuyGeneau , this should help with the issue you filed here (#4578).
