Comment (by warner):
updating title to match, and recording some thoughts..
I can't decide if I want the legend to be between the "current ops" and
"recent ops" sections, or at the bottom after "recent ops". It should
probably be in a smaller font. I don't want to have to scroll down to see
the first 4 or 5 items in the list. It should probably teach the following
lessons:
* immutable files are marked as "upload" (copied into grid to servers)
and "download" (copied from grid from servers)
* reading a mutable file does a "mapupdate MODE_READ" followed by a
"retrieve"
* creating a new mutable file does a "publish"
* modifying an existing mutable file does a "mapupdate MODE_WRITE", then
a "retrieve", then a "publish"
* small immutable files (below about 65 bytes) are stored as LIT filecaps
and do not appear on this list at all
* directories are usually stored in mutable files, so directory changes
will appear as mutable-file modifications
