I think we always want to make sure the sequence file is consistent,
right? To me the choice is between "two calls to folder_read()" and
"one call to folder_read() but have it locked during the complete
command run". For a web front end, the latter choice makes more
sense. I would argue that the former choice makes more sense for
the average user.
Thanks, your explanation makes sense.
I wonder if the two calls are a problem with disk caching. Though
at some point a folder will get big enough to blow the cache.
I'm not fond of -fulllock, but it does shorten to -fu.
