* Add per-user master list
* Archiving changes in location metadata
* Fix race in lock handling and add timeout support (look in gnome-mime)
* Support multiple backends from CLI
Long-term
* Add clustering support:
- Add Cluster class inheriting Archive class and overriding path
semantics
- Change location rollback functionality to send data through to
clients if the archive is a cluster
* Allow backend specs to identify an order in which they should be applied
- Specify this in the master list; have each location look up that
information before invoking multiple backends
Questions
Done
* Global list of configs for a given archive
* Location should store backend data in the location where it is valid
* Add support for dumping XML to stdout rather than running the backend
* Fix bug where EOF not sent through pipe
* Changing the name of a location
* Adding per-user/global backends
- Don't try to write out contains list on toplevel locations
- Give error if the user tries to add a backend to a toplevel location
* Consistency check on adding and removing backends
- Make sure the backend is included in the global metadata list before
adding
- When removing global and per-user backends, mark the backend
"invalid" and exclude from location_foreach_backend,
location_rollback_all_to, and location_contains.
* Refactor master list into an attribute of Archive
* Roll back x number of steps rather than by date
