 5.9 Introduction to Responses
 =============================
 
 After a command which expects a response, the server sends however many
 of the following responses are appropriate.  The server should not send
 data at other times (the current implementation may violate this
 principle in a few minor places, where the server is printing an error
 message and exiting--this should be investigated further).
 
    Any set of responses always ends with `error' or `ok'.  This
 indicates that the response is over.
 
    The responses `Checked-in', `New-entry', `Updated', `Created',
 `Update-existing', `Merged', and `Patched' are refered to as "file
 updating" responses, because they change the status of a file in the
 working directory in some way.  The responses `Mode', `Mod-time', and
 `Checksum' are referred to as "file update modifying" responses because
 they modify the next file updating response.  In no case shall a file
 update modifying response apply to a file updating response other than
 the next one.  Nor can the same file update modifying response occur
 twice for a given file updating response (if servers diagnose this
 problem, it may aid in detecting the case where clients send an update
 modifying response without following it by a file updating response).
