sftp client reget reput

[Ben Lindstrom]

The problem is in some cases the data being sent to you may be out of
order (thankful no sftp server does this yet).  So reget/reput without RFC
clearifications can lead to bad file transfers.

I'm trying to drag up in my mind which one was the problem... I believe
reput is fine since the client has control over the ordering.  reget is
the troublesome some one without RFC clarifications stating out of order
transfers are denied.

if the RFC get clarified to disallow out of order transfers then a cleaned
up version of this patch may not have a problem getting in.
