2514	"Magic Folder: consider possible ""Sorcerer's Apprentice"" problems"	daira	daira	"File synchronization systems are potentially vulnerable to ""[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorcerer's_Apprentice Sorcerer's Apprentice]"" problems where the work done to process a filesystem change (local or remote) triggers another filesystem change, ad infinitum.

We have already seen two bugs that could potentially cause this:
* uploads of ""`foo.backup`"", ""`foo.backup.backup`"", etc. before #2428 was implemented
* #2513 could also cause this problem if the node directory in question is for a server that is storing shares for the Magic Folder DMD.

Analyse the design for other similar cases.
