Problem/Motivation
Managed Drupal 7 files need to be migrated to Drupal 8 file entities.
Proposed Resolution
D7's unified file management API (and the fact that files are already entities!) makes this a lot easier than migrating files from Drupal 6 :) We need a simple migration (d7_file) that simply transfers all file_managed rows to Drupal 8 file entities, and copies the actual files to the corresponding Drupal 8 path.
Remaining Tasks
- Write the migration
- Write tests
- Review
- Commit
