Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [comment:141 davidsarah]:
 > Minor nit: the CLI accepts {{{--mutable-type=mdmf}}} (for example), but
 not {{{--mutable-type=MDMF}}}. It should probably be case-insensitive.
 >
 > Also, specifying {{{--mutable-type}}} should probably imply
 {{{--mutable}}}. Currently there's an assert if the former is given
 without the latter; asserts should not be used to report usage errors.

 Actually [source:src/allmydata/scripts/tahoe_put.py at 5180#L71 the assert at
 tahoe_put.py line 72] never triggers because the {{{mutable_type}}}
 variable is only set if {{{mutable}}} is set. So as #1506 says,
 {{{--mutable-type}}} is silently ignored if {{{--mutable}}} is not
 present.
