send/receive questions

send/receive questions

[Ins]

Hello all,

    The implementation of send/receive is very cool.

    But I wonder whether there are any plans to support these features
below or not,

    1. support writable subvolume

    2. can skip something to receive, for example,
         (1) only receive those commands in range [1000, ..), skip the
before 1000
         (2) only receive changes after some time, like recent 3 days.

    3. can revert one receive
        Just like the patch command does

    4. support this scene,
        When doing the receive process, if it suddently be stopped,
how to continue the receive process.

    If 2 and 3 can be supported, 4 may be easy.

    It's true there may be many errors if we skip something to receive.

I sent a proposal and a patch to implement this in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg19387.html. However, it is
not easy to make this patch accepted. Also, I found a bug in this
patch so please don't try it out.
