Alice allows Bob to fetch this repo, but doesn't announce it, which means that Bob needs to know to fetch it from Alice.

$ rad id update --title "Allow Bob" --description "" --allow did:key:z6Mkt67GdsW7715MEfRuP4pSZxJRJh6kj6Y48WRqVv4N1tRk -q
[..]

First, Bob seeds the repo.

$ rad seed rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu --no-fetch
[..]

If Bob just tries to fetch it without specifying seeds, he gets an error:

$ rad sync rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu --fetch
✗ Error: no seeds found for rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu

If he specifies a seed that isn't in his routing table, he gets a warning and an error:

$ rad sync rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu --fetch --seed z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
! Warning: node z6MknSL…StBU8Vi is not connected or seeding.. skipping
✗ Error: no seeds found for rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu

For this to work, Bob has to force the sync:

$ rad sync rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu --fetch --seed z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi --force
✓ Fetching rad:z2ug5mwNKZB8KGpBDRTrWHAMbvHCu from z6MknSL…StBU8Vi..
✓ Fetched repository from 1 seed(s)

$ rad ls --private --all

Note that if multiple seeds are specified, the command succeeds as long as one seed succeeds.
