thoughts on cycles

Browse source 
Rejected the idea of automatically instantiating remotes for proxies-of-proxies.
That needs cycle protection, while the current behavior, which happened
for free, is that running git-annex updateproxy on the proxy can be used
to configure it, but only for topologies that actually exist.

@ -33,14 +33,9 @@ For June's work on [[design/passthrough_proxy]], remaining todos:
* Basic proxying to special remote support (non-streaming).
* Support proxies-of-proxies better, eg foo-bar-baz.
Currently, it does work, but have to run `git-annex updateproxy`
on foo in order for it to notice the bar-baz proxied remote exists,
and record it as foo-bar-baz. Make it skip recording proxies of
proxies like that, and instead automatically generate those from the log.
(With cycle prevention there of course.)
* Cycle prevention including cluster-in-cluster cycles. See design.
* Make sure that cluster-in-cluster cycles are prevented.
(Actually supporting cluster-in-cluster is optional, and it might
be added later.)
* Optimise proxy speed. See design for ideas.
