From c6122cf0a40ce4c565957f68e1076b6ada5c2bea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 15:38:22 -0400 Subject: enable forwardRetry for command-line transfers If a transfer fails for some reason, but some data managed to be sent, the transfer will be retried. (The assistant already did this.) Possible impacts: * More ssh prompts if ssh needs to prompt for a password to connect to a host, or is prompting about some other problem like a ssh key mismatch. * More data transfer due to retrying, epecially when a remote does not support resuming a transfer. In the worst case, a lot of data will be transferred but it fails before the end, and then all that data gets transferred again plus one byte more; repeat until it manages to get the whole file. --- CHANGELOG | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'CHANGELOG') diff --git a/CHANGELOG b/CHANGELOG index d91b79c63..c4016ef35 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG +++ b/CHANGELOG @@ -12,6 +12,8 @@ git-annex (6.20161013) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium * test: Deal with gpg-agent behavior change that broke the test suite. * Improve ssh socket cleanup code to skip over the cruft that NFS sometimes puts in a directory when a file is being deleted. + * If a transfer fails for some reason, but some data managed to be sent, + the transfer will be retried.
