Package: obnam
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: wishlist
It'd be nice if when I ctrl-c a backup, obnam delays to write a
checkpoint, and clear the lock file. AIUI, this is all that's needed to
allow resuming the backup later.

I agree that checkpointing takes long enough that I don't want to do
that when ctrl-c is pressed. Also, to implement that reliably is
rather more tricky than I care for. Thus, I'm closing this wishlist
bug, sorry.
