the next time you fsck, you can specify --more to skip over
files that have already been checked, and continue where it left off.
The --incremental-restart option makes a new incremental fsck be
started a configurable time after the last incremental fsck was started.
Note that the current incremental fsck has to completely finish
before the restart happens.
Maybe you'd like to run a fsck for 5 hours at night, picking up each
night where it left off. You'd like this to continue until all files
have been fscked. And once it's done, you'd like a new fsck pass to start,
but no more often than once a month. Then put this in a nightly cron job:
git annex fsck --incremental-restart 30d --time-limit 5h
