So is this ready for prime time yet? I used to follow camlistore, and it was still a little rough even for CLI nerds.



So I just downloaded it and played around and as far as I can tell there is no way to delete files. Or, more specifically there is a way but it's not implemented or otherwise accessible as far as I can figure from the rather sparse documentation.

If someone would like to explain to me how (if?) the garbage collection works I'd appreciate it, because I like the concept and kinda want to use this, but deleting stuff is a rather important feature for me. All I could find searching was a post by the devs saying it was already mostly implemented but not finished and not a priority...

Like, I understand that this is a spare time project (I think) but not considering deleting/pruning files to be an important feature is really confusing to me. In its current state, if I accidentally upload the wrong file, am I now stuck with it forever?

Edit: ok I figured out how to at least delete things in the UI (clicking the check mark opens a side menu apparently, `camput delete` doesn't seem to do anything), but as far as I can tell it doesn't actually delete them from the database without running a garbage collect, which isn't implemented so it just hangs around in purgatory.
