    /**
     * The getChanges method returns all the changes that have happened, since
     * the specified syncToken and the current collection.
     *
     * This function should return an array, such as the following:
     *
     * [
     *   'syncToken' => 'The current synctoken',
     *   'added'   => [
     *      'new.txt',
     *   ],
     *   'modified'   => [
     *      'modified.txt',
     *   ],
     *   'deleted' => array(
     *      'foo.php.bak',
     *      'old.txt'
     *   )
     * ];
     *
     * The syncToken property should reflect the *current* syncToken of the
     * collection, as reported getSyncToken(). This is needed here too, to
     * ensure the operation is atomic.
     *
     * If the syncToken is specified as null, this is an initial sync, and all
     * members should be reported.
     *
     * The modified property is an array of nodenames that have changed since
     * the last token.
     *
     * The deleted property is an array with nodenames, that have been deleted
     * from collection.
     *
     * The second argument is basically the 'depth' of the report. If it's 1,
     * you only have to report changes that happened only directly in immediate
     * descendants. If it's 2, it should also include changes from the nodes
     * below the child collections. (grandchildren)
     *
     * The third (optional) argument allows a client to specify how many
     * results should be returned at most. If the limit is not specified, it
     * should be treated as infinite.
     *
     * If the limit (infinite or not) is higher than you're willing to return,
     * you should throw a Sabre\DAV\Exception\TooMuchMatches() exception.
     *
     * If the syncToken is expired (due to data cleanup) or unknown, you must
     * return null.
     *
     * The limit is 'suggestive'. You are free to ignore it.
     *
     * @param string $syncToken
     * @param int $syncLevel
     * @param int $limit
     * @return array
