 For some files I want convergence and I don't care about the confirmation-
 of-a-file attack or [http://tahoe-
 lafs.org/hacktahoelafs/drew_perttula.html learn-partial-information]
 attack. For others it is the other way around -- I don't care about
 convergence and I do care about those attacks. Therefore the value of the
 added convergence secret is more of a per-file configuration to me than a
 per-node configuration. It would be nice if {{{tahoe put}}}, {{{tahoe
 cp}}}, and {{{tahoe backup}}} offered a {{{--converge-with=}}} option,
 which would default to the node-wide added convergence secret.
