-- fitler client returned in pull to just those in same client group
-
-  - i think what we want to do generally is:
-    - select all the [id, version] pairs for an entity that should be in the client view,
-      via whatever query makes sense.
-    - for replicache_client this will be clientGroupID filter, but for other entities it
-      could theoretically be whatever, and we can use this later for paging.
-    - take the result of that query and join it twice with client_view_entry:
-      - once to find new rows
-      - once to find deleted rows
-      - i believe either join can be used to find modified rows
-    - i'm hoping that this strategy allows postgres to stream the diff, like it is now, without
-      having to slurp the entire client view into memory.
-
 - fix tests
 - put paging back (by way of expanding a window incrementally that controls what we are syncing)
 - don't bump client version when no changes
