Example user story: Jane rebases her OS to a new major version N, and wants to
keep around N-1 even after a few upgrades for a while so she can easily roll
back. I plan to add `rpm-ostree rebase --pin` to opt-in to this for example.
Builds on the new `libostree-transient` group to store pinning state there.

SPDX License List is a list of (common) open source
licenses that can be referred to by a “short identifier”.
It has several advantages compared to the common "license header texts"
usually found in source files.
Some of the advantages:
* It is precise; there is no ambiguity due to variations in license header
text
* It is language neutral
* It is easy to machine process
* It is concise
* It is simple and can be used without much cost in interpreted
environments like java Script, etc.
* An SPDX license identifier is immutable.
* It provides simple guidance for developers who want to make sure the
license for their code is respected
See http://spdx.org for further reading.

We build them in "make" and clean them in "make clean", so there
doesn't seem much point in shipping them pre-generated in the tarball.

Without this, the manual pages can't actually be regenerated from a dist
tarball, and running make clean will remove all traces of them.

I'm trying to improve the developer experience on OSTree-managed
systems, and I had an epiphany the other day - there's no reason we
have to be absolutely against mutating the current rootfs live. The
key should be making it easy to rollback/reset to a known good state.
I see this command as useful for two related but distinct workflows:
- `ostree admin unlock` will assume you're doing "development". The
semantics hare are that we mount an overlayfs on `/usr`, but the
overlay data is in `/var/tmp`, and is thus discarded on reboot.
- `ostree admin unlock --hotfix` first clones your current deployment,
then creates an overlayfs over `/usr` persistent
to this deployment. Persistent in that now the initramfs switchroot
tool knows how to mount it as well. In this model, if you want
to discard the hotfix, at the moment you roll back/reboot into
the clone.
Note originally, I tried using `rofiles-fuse` over `/usr` for this,
but then everything immediately explodes because the default (at least
CentOS 7) SELinux policy denies tons of things (including `sshd_t`
access to `fusefs_t`). Sigh.
So the switch to `overlayfs` came after experimentation. It still
seems to have some issues...specifically `unix_chkpwd` is broken,
possibly because it's setuid? Basically I can't ssh in anymore.
But I *can* `rpm -Uvh strace.rpm` which is handy.
NOTE: I haven't tested the hotfix path fully yet, specifically
the initramfs bits.
At the moment I'm looking at using rpm-ostree to manage RPM inputs
which can then be converted into Docker images. It's most convenient
if we can stream directly out of libostree rather than doing a
checkout + tar combination.
There are also backup/debugging etc. reasons to implement `export` as
well.
While it's not strictly tied to OSTree, let's move
https://github.com/cgwalters/rofiles-fuse in here because:
- It's *very* useful in concert with OSTree
- It's tiny
- We can reuse OSTree's test, documentation, etc. infrastructure
One thing to consider also is that at some point we could experiment
with writing a FUSE filesystem for OSTree. This could internalize a
better equivalent of `--link-checkout-speedup`, but on the other hand,
the cost of walking filesystem trees for these types of operations is
really quite small.
But if we did decide to do more FUSE things in OSTree, this is a step
towards that too.
