/// Linux uses inodes in filesystems. When implementing FUSE, most calls are

/// This means, we need to have a stable mapping of inode numbers to the
/// corresponding store nodes.
///
/// We internally delegate all inode allocation and state keeping to the
/// inode tracker, and store the currently "explored" store paths together with
/// root inode of the root.
///
/// There's some places where inodes are allocated / data inserted into
/// the inode tracker, if not allocated before already:
///  - Processing a `lookup` request, either in the mount root, or somewhere
///    deeper
///  - Processing a `readdir` request
///
///  Things pointing to the same contents get the same inodes, irrespective of
///  their own location.
///  This means:
///  - Symlinks with the same target will get the same inode.
///  - Regular/executable files with the same contents will get the same inode
///  - Directories with the same contents will get the same inode.
///
/// Due to the above being valid across the whole store, and considering the
/// merkle structure is a DAG, not a tree, this also means we can't do "bucketed
/// allocation", aka reserve Directory.size inodes for each PathInfo.
