@ -23,3 +23,11 @@ assistant is not being used. Looked into also cleaning up stale
.git/annex/transfer/{upload,download}/ files (from interrupted transfers).
But, since those are used as lock files, it's difficult to remove them
in a concurrency safe way.
Update: Unfortunately, I turned out to have stumbled over an apparent bug
in haskell's implementation of file locking.
<https://github.com/haskell/unix/issues/44> Had to work around that.
Happily, the workaround also let me implement cleanup of stale transfer
info files, left behind when a git-annex process was interrupted. So,
.git/annex/transfer/ will entirely stop accumulating cruft!
