### Internal metadata for replication

`xl.meta` that is in use for [versioning](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/versioning/DESIGN.md) has additional metadata for replication of objects,delete markers and versioned deletes.

        RepositoryMetadata metadata = new ArtifactRepositoryMetadata(a);

        File file = new File(
                localRepository.getBasedir(), localRepository.pathOfLocalRepositoryMetadata(metadata, localRepository));
        file.delete();

        File touchFile = updateCheckManager.getTouchfile(metadata, file);
        touchFile.delete();
