Comment:

 Do we need to document this problem with mutable files in FTP? I don't
 think it is serious enough to deserve an entry in
 [source:docs/known_issues.txt], but maybe in [source:docs/frontends/FTP-
 and-SFTP.txt]? Oh, I see there is already a note in there:
 {{{
 Mutable files are not supported by the FTP frontend.
 }}}
 (from [source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt at 4439#L201])
 Hm, this documentation seems incomplete. What happens if I put a mutable
 file into a directory with {{{tahoe put}}} or {{{tahoe ln}}} or the wui,
 and then I list that directory using my FTP client?
