This option is related to `--time-limit`, but stops after processing X
bytes. For example, I often need to free up a certain amount of space on
a disk and want `git-annex move` to stop after it has copied a specified
amount of data:
git annex move --to otherdisk --byte-limit 3G
git annex drop --auto --byte-limit 500m
git annex get --byte-limit 500m
I've been using some `annex.diskreserve` trickery now and then to
accomplish this, but it's a bit cumbersome and also not a very precise
way to specify the amount I want to copy/move/get. The last example
would also be a useful command to limit the traffic when I'm connecting
via mobile – get as much as possible, but don't blow the mobile quota.
