Well underway on making direct mode transfers roll back when the file is modified while it's transferred.
As expected, it was easy to do for all the special remotes ... Except for bup, which does not allow deleting content. For bup it just removes the git ref for the bad content, and relies on bup's use of git delta compression to keep space use sane.
The problem is also handled by git-annex-shell sendkey
.
But not yet for downloads from other git repositories. Bit stuck on that.
Also: A few minor bug fixes.
