+// InPlaceDataStore is a storage backend for tusd, which stores the uploaded
+// files in the user's root directory. It features parallel and resumable uploads.
+// It only touches the target file, without creating any lock files or separate
+// files for upload parts. It thus requires no clean-up on failed uploads.
+// It requires the destination metadata field to be set in the upload request.
+// For each NewUpload, the target file is expanded by the upload's size.
+// This way, multiple uploads can work on the same file, without interfering
+// with each other.
