+A content-addressable storage system, with a fuse-based VFS client.
+
+This is very much a work in progress. The fuse-based VFS client in `src/client/fs.rs` is being rewritten to handle large files. Every file update needed to first load the entire file to memory before flushing it to the CAS. The goal now is to first copy the file out of the CAS, update it, then rewrite it to the CAS.
