Could you perhaps adjust it so that when the timeout limit is exceeded, |
| 9 |
the sync is aborted, and the sync status of that repository is flagged |
| 10 |
as "bad", and notifies you somehow to fix it manually at your leisure, |
| 11 |
but otherwise ceases to impede the progress of all the other |
| 12 |
repositories? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And if you're worried that a sync interruption midway could cause a |
| 15 |
dirty state, maybe you could do an rsync trick where mercurial repos |
| 16 |
are rsynced into a sandbox location, and then only rsynced back into |
| 17 |
place on success? |

This process lets you go "sure, it may be doing something, but it took |
| 20 |
too long anyway, so we'll let somebody with brains work it out and |
| 21 |
pretend it was broken in the interim" |
