#2924: Subdirectories remain in magic-folder upload queue indefinitely
--------------------------+---------------------------

 Priority:  normal        |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  unknown       |        Version:  1.12.1
 Keywords:  magic-folder  |  Launchpad Bug:
--------------------------+---------------------------
 Subdirectories created inside of a magic-folder appear to remain in the
 `magic-folder status` upload queue indefinitely. Example:

 {{{
 dev ~ % tahoe magic-folder status -n TestFolder
 Magic-folder status for 'TestFolder':
 Local files:
   file.txt (5.21 MB): good, version=0, created 6 minutes ago
   subdir at _ (0 B): good, version=0, created 5 minutes ago
   subdir at _other_file.txt (965.85 kB): good, version=0, created 2 minutes
 ago

 Remote files:
   admin's remote:
     file.txt (5.21 MB): good, version=0, created 6 minutes ago
     subdir at _ (0 B): good, version=0, created 5 minutes ago
     subdir at _other_file.txt (965.85 kB): good, version=0, created 2 minutes
 ago

 Uploads:
   subdir/: 0.0% done
 }}}


 In this case, the `subdir/: 0.0% done` upload operation will persist in
 between client restarts (i.e., be re-added to the queue on startup but
 remain at "0.0% done" forever), regardless of the contents of that
 subdirectory and/or the ongoing upload/download progress of any of the
 files contained inside it.

 As meejah has suggested, this may have something to do with the
 "flattening" behavior of magic-folder (which does not use standard/nested
 tahoe directories but instead lists all files within a magic-folder at the
 top-level of a mutable object using "@_" as a path separator). In any
 case, the correct behavior should probably either clear/remove this upload
 operation once "subdir" has been successfully created in the remote magic-
 folder, or keep the upload operation in the list for some amount of time
 but display it as being 100% done.
