I often "copy --to remote" many files at once, and inevitably the transfer fails for some files (few out of hundreds). It would be great to subsequently be able to "copy --failed --to remote" to re-try only the transfers for failed files (similarly to how one can use "--unused").

get, move, copy, mirror: Added --failed switch which retries failed copies/moves Note that get --from foo --failed will get things that a previous get --from bar tried and failed to get, etc. I considered making --failed only retry transfers from the same remote, but it was easier, and seems more useful, to not have the same remote requirement. Noisy due to some refactoring into Types/ 2016-08-03 16:37:12 +00:00
