Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Upload helper is described in source:docs/architecture.txt, but how to configure upload helpers is not documented. For example, Tahoe nodes respond to the presence of a "helper.furl" file in their configuration directory, but this isn't documented in source:docs/configuration.txt.
(In fact it is, as far as I know, the only such configuration option that isn't documented in that file.)
Also, Chris Goffinet seems to be unsure about how to use upload helpers -- http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2008-May/000532.html ("Benefit of upload helper?"). Perhaps he didn't see the note in architecture.txt, or perhaps that note isn't sufficient to help people decide whether and how to use helpers.
Done, in changeset:783fbb12e608795b and changeset:e2f56b8e3c96d6ac.
