Duplicated imported waves

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Import a wave from Google Wave
2. Make sure the wave hasn't been modified in Google Wave
3. Import it again in Walkaround (intentionally or not)

What is the expected output? 
The wave shouldn't be imported again if it hasn't been modified since the last 
import.

What do you see instead?
The wave is imported 2 times in Walkaround, with 2 different waveIDs, despite 
being totally identical.

The fault is essentially to the user since the import action has been performed 
twice, but I think there should be a "security" to avoid duplicates: If the 
user doesn't realize his wave has been imported (because the GWave original 
title doesn't appear in the Walkaround inbox for example), trying to import it 
again could be a common mistake. When the wave is 100% identical I think it 
shouldn't be imported again.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Demo server at wavereactor.appspot.com
Windows XP , Google Chrome

A way to delete a wave imported in Walkaround would also do the trick.

The way to delete a wave is to remove all participants.  Currently, this just 
leaves the wave inaccessible, and the data remains in the datastore; but that 
difference is not user-visible.  The longer-term plan is to do a periodic 
cleanup.

I agree that avoiding duplicates would be good, but I think we should only do 
this once Google Wave is read-only.  Then, we can be certain that the original 
never changes.
