We have annex.retry etc configuration now to control retries of transfers.
|
||||
|
||||
Stall detection would be good to have in git-annex. Currently, when a
|
||||
transfer is stalled, the progress meter stops updating, so displays
|
||||
an ETA that's wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the progress meter is already getting called periodically when
|
||||
a transfer is not stalled, a stall detector could perhaps be added
|
||||
into that, to abort stalled transfers. The tricky part being that a few
|
||||
types of transfers don't use the internal progress meters but rely on an
|
||||
external command's progress display, and the stall detection would need to
|
||||
be disabled for those.
|
||||
|
||||
Hmm, a password prompt for eg ssh can also "stall"
|
||||
a transfer for a long time. Perhaps the thing to do is wait until
|
||||
the meter gets updated once, and only then start the stall detector.
