Just get the whole git tree from

The get_uuid methods gets content and location of the uuid so that
the client can find the disks. The offset simply is part of the wire
protocol.

Ok.

The realtime device doesn't have a way for the client to find it, as
it doesn't have its own superblockuuids.

ok.

The protocol only allows to commit to a size that we previously
returned a layout for, which means we already have allocated space
for it at same time. For robustness reasons a sanity check might make
sense, though.

It probably could, but that wouldn't buy us anything over just committing
the transaction synchronously.
