cafs

cafs stands for "content-addressed-file-system", which is a generalized interface for working with filestores that determine names content based on the content itself. Examples of a content-addressed file systems include git, IPFS, the DAT project, and like, blockchains or whatever. The long-term goal of cafs is to decouple & interoperate common filestore operations between different content-addressed filestores. This package doesn't aim to implement everything a given filestore can do, but instead focus on basic file & directory i/o. cafs is very early days, starting with a proof of concept based on IPFS and an in-memory implementation. Over time we'll work to add additional stores, which will undoubtably affect the overall interface definition.
