    # going to cause UncoordinatedWriteErrors when working with
    # MutableFileVersions. We know that the next three operations
    # (upload, overwrite, and modify) will all operate on the same
    # version, so we say that only one of them can be going on at once,
    # and serialize them to ensure that that actually happens, since as

        The backoffer is given two arguments: this MutableFileNode, and the

        return a Deferred that will fire when the next attempt should be
