Comment (by daira):

 I propose that the Magic Folder implementation not do anything special to
 handle deleted files on startup. That is, a file that is found to have
 been deleted while the node was not running is treated in the same way as
 a file that is deleted just after it has started.

 (Currently, that is to upload a deletion marker, which will cause other
 nodes to rename their copy of the file to `$FILENAME.backup` if they have
 it, or do nothing if they do not already have it.)
