Yes, the same is true of other tahoe commands that upload files, except for
'tahoe put' with the --mutable option. Similarly, the SFTP frontend always
writes immutable files, and the WUI uploads files as immutable unless the
"Mutable?" checkbox is ticked. By default, only directories are stored in
mutable files.
