Subject: [PATCH 14/14] clone: give advice on how to resume a failed clone
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:56:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111110075654.GN27950@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20111110074330.GA27925@sigill.intra.peff.net>

When clone fails, we usually delete the partial directory.
However, if cloning was fetching a bundle, that is resumable
and we should consider those results precious.

This patch detects when a partial bundle is present,
preserves the directory, and gives the user some advice
about how to resume.

We could make "git clone ..." automatically resume, but I'm a little
nervous about that. I wrote a patch that did so, and it did work, but
there are a lot of little hiccups as we violate the assumption that the
directory didn't already exist (e.g., it writes multiple fetch refspec
lines to the config).

But more importantly, I really worry about destroying the safety valve
of not overwriting an existing directory. Yes, we can check to see that
it is a git directory and that it has a partially-downloaded bundle
file. But that could also describe an existing git repo with unstaged
changes. And you sure don't want to "checkout -f" over them.

So I'd rather at least start with giving the user some advice and
having them explicitly say "yeah, I do want to resume this".
