Right, this basically adds the file as was provided without major
modifications. I cleaned it up in the next patch, but we should probably
be doing that here already.

Not sure :)

I think it is the right name, we initialize the name where we expect to
find/put the db filename in __init__, but any place is good as long as
we set it somewhere :)

This is a leftover from the original. I have done away with all
migration code in the next patch, I think. The reason is that we can
just recreate the LocalStatus information from scratch if both LOCAL
and REMOTE are reasonably in sync. So, we can just disregard the old
plain text status and recreate the new one as if the LocalStatus cache
were just missing.

mmh, as I've written above. If both repos are reasonably in sync, we can
just recreate LocalStatus without any special need for migration. We do
store a "version" number of the table format, so we can upgrade people
that are on old versions when we bump it.

Thanks will have a look

Will check

Right

I think it is correct, but will check.
