Yup. "tahoe put --mutable LOCALFILE ALIAS:foo" creates and links a mutable file with the contents of LOCALFILE. A subsequent "tahoe put NEWLOCAL ALIAS:foo" modifies the contents of the existing mutable file. A subsequent "tahoe cp NEW2 ALIAS:foo" also modifies the contents of the existing file.

"cat LOCALFILE | tahoe put --mutable" will create an unlinked mutable file with the given contents. "tahoe cp LOCALFILE URI:.." can then be used to modify this file.

Unfortunately "cat NEWLOCAL | tahoe put URI:.." doesn't work.. this ought to be a way to modify the file in-place.

I'm going to add a new ticket (#441) for the last bit and close this one.
