Trying to summarize where we are, right now: 1. Part of the discussion was about trying to figure out why C-c would not interrupt file transfers midway through; 2. Before that, there was some discussion about whether or not we should transfer all files in the case where the no executable was provided and sysroot is empty. I'm unclear whether this part was generally accepted or not. I have a feeling that having (1) resolved would go a long way towards accepting (2). That being said, I understand Pedro's concerns regarding adding this extra logic that late in the game, even if it is fairly simple. But if he or others agree with it, then I would be fine with it too. It does seem to only affect a corner case. -- Joel
