Description (last modified by daira)

The new APIs in #533 and #607 should be used by the "tahoe cp [-r]" frontend CLI command. This will make it run faster (fewer roundtrips between the CLI and the webapi sides).

(this ticket was split out of #828)

darrob wrote on IRC:

hi, i'm uploading a lot of small files (~1KB) to a directory. i've noticed that for every upload tahoe "downloads" the directory which is over 300KB and growing. this makes sense but it's a little frustrating that most time and bandwidth is spent on it. is there any way to make this more efficient?

Using set-children would make this case more efficient.
