#### Versions naming caveat
When using `--b2-versions` flag rclone is relying on the file name
to work out whether the objects are versions or not. Versions' names
are created by inserting timestamp between file name and its extension.

8 file-v2023-07-17-161032-000.txt
16 file-v2023-06-15-141003-000.txt
```
If there are real files present with the same names as versions, then
behaviour of `--b2-versions` can be unpredictable.
### Data usage
It is useful to know how many requests are sent to the server in different scenarios.
