To facilitate faster adding of files, etc, you can pass a list of commands all

And ends with:
command_list_end
It does not execute any commands until the list has ended. The return
value is whatever the return for a list of commands is. On success
for all commands, OK is returned. If a command fails, no more commands
are executed and the appropriate ACK error is returned.
