### Please describe the problem. Using the incremental fsck starts from the beginning over and over again. Currently, it's not possible to check a repo in smaller steps. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Start an incremental fsck: `git-annex fsck -S` Abort the operation either by `Ctrl+C` or `--time-limit=1s` Continue the incremental fsck: `git-annex fsck -m` or try this test script: https://gist.github.com/parhuzamos/a72236e24a83bdee5830 The check starts with same file as the first time and takes the same files again. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex: 5.20150727-g06082d8 Linux: 3.13.0-57-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 19 09:28:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Also tried with `docker/ubuntu:latest` using a clean install from https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz git-annex: 5.20150522-gb199d65 Linux: 3.16.0-43-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 19 11:04:02 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > I've adjusted the timing of the fsck checkpoints used in resumes some. > Now it makes one every 5 minutes, or every 1000 files, whichever comes > first.
