optimize: A new subcommand that either gets or drops file content as needed to work toward meeting the configured numcopies setting.
This is currently rather simplistic, though still useful. In the future, it could become smarter about what content is stored where, etc.

Once you have multiple repositories, and have perhaps configured numcopies,
|
