Describe your changes

This is a new comparison guide of UnixFS, iroh collections, and DASL/MASL for content addressing directories of files, covering overhead, determinism, subsetting, and ecosystem support.

After spending a lot of time comparing the three for a different use case, I thought it would be useful to share these insights, and embrace the plurality of the IPFS ecosystem.

Checklist before merging

  • Passing all required checks (The beta Check Markdown links for modified files check is not required)

  • Add more references to other pages like the lifecycle
  • add a whole opening section about the more abstract notion of a Merkle proof with link to protoschool. Use analogy of club bouncer who has the root hash and each person who has proof of name with real world ID, and the Merkle path to the root.
