Comment:

 Does this apply also to more cases? I see in
 `should_use_directory_guards()`:

 {{{
   if (options->DownloadExtraInfo || options->FetchDirInfoEarly ||
       options->FetchDirInfoExtraEarly || options->FetchUselessDescriptors)
     return 0;
 }}}

 At that point, we know it's a client, should it simply return 1 all the
 time instead so we always use a dir guard? (Also, am I looking at the
 right place? :)
