#1372 closed defect (fixed)

clarify help for 'tahoe put --mutable'

Reported by: davidsarah Owned by: davidsarah
Priority: minor Milestone: 1.10.0
Component: code-frontend-cli Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: tahoe-put mutable usability help docs easy Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description

A user was confused by the fact that tahoe put -m LOCAL_FILE REMOTE_FILE will overwrite the contents of REMOTE_FILE if it already exists (and therefore will print the same URI on each run):

​http://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-February/006186.html

The help for tahoe put is not sufficiently clear about the behaviour in this case.

Looks good, landed. Thanks!

oops, the test was asserting that stderr was empty, whereas the actual command emits a 201 Created or 200 OK. I've updated the test to match.

Huh, that was careless of me. I must not have re-tested after my last change.
