Finally have all the groundwork done for canceling stalled transfers. This
 | 
						|
involved taking some code that was in the assistant, and had not been
 | 
						|
touched for probably 7 years beyond basic maintenance, dusting it off,
 | 
						|
and making it suitable to be used in git-annex more generally. Now I have
 | 
						|
git-annex using transferkeys child processes, and all that seems to work
 | 
						|
well.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I'm finishing up today by designing the new git config that will enable stall
 | 
						|
detection and canceling. annex.stalldetection will be configurable to a
 | 
						|
value like "1MB/30s", which means it's stalled unless every 30 seconds
 | 
						|
a megabyte of data has been tranferred. Or "0KiB/2m" will let things stall
 | 
						|
for up to 2 minutes with no data transfer. There will also be a per-remote
 | 
						|
config, so minimum transfer rates can be set for each. This can be combined
 | 
						|
with annex.retry to make it retry after detecting a stall.
