I kept the scan a single pass for now, +need to revisit that later to drop content before transferring more. +Also, when content is downloaded or uploaded, this can result in it +needing to be dropped from somewhere, and the assistant handles that too. + +There are some edge cases with hypothetical, very weird preferred +content expressions, where the assistant won't drop content right away. +(But will later in the expensive scan.) Other than those, I think I have +nearly all content dropping sorted out. The only common case I know of where +unwanted content is not dropped by the assistant right away is when a file +is renamed (eg, put in a "Trash" directory). + +In other words, repositories put into the transfer group will now work as +described, only retaining content as long as is needed to distribute it to +clients.
