Description

Could we get an file extension so repo files can be identified in the client_files folder.
.hyrepo maybe? Anything to identify it as every new user asks what they are and many delete them or think Hydrus messed up somehow.

Having a dedicated update-files folder might also be warrented to split them away from the actual files.

Research direction

Start by inspecting how repository update files are created and read in the client_files folder, and whether an update-files folder is already supported. Compare the extension and folder-separation proposals; done means users can distinguish update files from actual files without disrupting existing repository updates.
