Description
The Source subclass [DownloadableFileSource](https://docs.buildstream.build/master/buildstream.downloadablefilesource.html) reads login credentials from `~/.netrc`. This class is used by the included 'tar' source as well as third-party plugins, since it's part of the public API. However, this behaviour is not documented anywhere.
It would be great to have user-facing documentation for this, ideally in its own page such that supporting plugins can link to it.
