The discrepancy between the state file and the remote server would be, I believe, corrected during
the next run, when a set of directories is re-scanned by the client. Deleting the state file would
force a complete re-cache from server on the next run, instead of an "incremental" update of the
state.

I use this simple technique to separate a codepage into logical chunks. Once you get used to it,
you mentally read/search/modify about twice as easy. Those, of course, can be removed :).

I did not catch the meaning here. Why exactly is the Protocol similar to Archive? They do not
serve the same purpose, as far as I remember.

Since the rest of the code does not use it, we should probably remove it.
