Ugly, - failure prone, but potentially the least CPU-expensive option. -* Use librsync. Note: It's not wire-compatiable with the actual rsync - command. -* Set up a FIFO, have rsync read from or write to that, and the FIFO - feeder/reader then can update the transfer info. Generic enough to - work for most (all?) special remotes, but also the most expensive option, - involving another copy through memory of the whole file contents. +* git: Done, with one exception: `git-annex-shell sendkey` runs `rsync + --server --sender` and in that mode it does not report progress info. + So downloads initiated by other repos do not show progress in the repo + doing the uploading. +* rsync +* directory +* web: Not applicable; does not upload +* S3 +* bup +* hook: Would require the hook interface to somehow do this, which seems + too complicated.
