This message never // exceeds that length. // // The goal of this format is to allow atomically rewriting a meta file // in-place.

As the file's purpose // is to check for inconsistencies, it can be reconstructed if you assume no // inconsistency exists. // // Schema version 3 wrote a serialized DirMeta message with no length or // padding, and renamed new meta files over the top of old.
