-* TODO a bad interaction can happen between the TransferPoller and the
- TransferWatcher when downloading from an encrypted remote. If
- a partially transferred file exists already, in the gitAnnexTmpLocation
- of the (un-encrypted) key, the TransferPoller will trust it to have
- the right size of the content downloaded. This will stomp, every 0.5
- seconds, over the updates to the size that the TransferWatcher is seeing
- in the transfer log files.
-
- We still need the TransferPoller for the remotes that don't have
- download meters. This includes git, web, bup, and hook.
-
- Need to teach the TransferPoller to detect when transfer logs for downloads
- have file size info, and use it, rather than looking at the temp file.
- The question is, how to do this efficiently? It could just poll the
- transfer log every time, and if size is nonzero, ignore the temp file.
- This would work, but it would require a lot more work than the simple
- statting of the file it does now. And this runs every 0.5 seconds.
-
- I could try to convert all remotes I care about to having progress
- for downloads. But converting the web special remote will be hard..
-
- I think perhaps the best solution is to make the TransferWatcher also watch
- the temp files. Then if one changes, it can get its new size. If a
- transfer info file changes, it can get the size from there.
