Comment:

 OK here we go:

 little-t-tor branch: https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/1563
 torspec branch: https://github.com/torproject/torspec/pull/94

 Some comments and changes from the original trajectory:
 - Adding a Permanent credential requires the `ClientOnionAuthDir` torrc
 option to be set, and also the directory to be already created. When this
 is done, permanent credentials will be created as files within that
 directory.
 - Nicknames have been completely ditched because of the huge PITA that it
 would be to add them to the non-forward-compatible client auth file format
 (as described by the corresponding commit messages both in torspec and
 tor). In the future we can consider adding them but that would be even
 more work. For now, this could be handled in the TB layer if needed.
 - The REMOVE control port command will also remove the corresponding
 client auth files if they are permanent and they exist.
