As part of the out of memory syncing code, in this commit
0148bd4668 march: Implement callback based syncing
we changed the syncing method to use a sorted stream of directory
entries.
Unfortunately as part of this change the sort order of files and
directories became undefined.
This meant that if there existed both a file `foo` and a directory
`foo` in the same directory (as is common on object storage systems)
then these could be matched up incorrectly.
They could be matched up correctly like this
- `foo` (directory) - `foo` (directory)
- `foo` (file) - `foo` (file)
Or incorrectly like this (one of many possibilities)
- no match - `foo` (file)
- `foo` (directory) - `foo` (directory)
- `foo` (file) - no match
Just depending on how the input listings were ordered.
This in turn made container based syncing with a duplicated file and
directory name erratic, deleting files when it shouldn't.
This patch ensures that directories always sync before files by adding
a suffix to the sort key depending on whether the entry was a file or
directory.
