[WIP] Upload history API

[hexylena]

import_history_from_url works perfectly, from_path is currently failing with some awful galaxy error

Can you add a test for import_history_from_path() ?

[hexylena]

Ok, done. Unfortunately (because of how terrible history import/export is), this will mutate remote state in a way we cannot clean up.
