Gary D. Gregory commented on VFS-422:
-------------------------------------
There is a discussion thread here:
http://markmail.org/message/lbzqhplulsz2a7a2#query:+page:1+mid:66hcwrqmzlziyssz+state:results
This discussion stalled June 22, 2012 though.
There appears to be no consensus on which approach to take for adding this kind
of feature: implement in the provider itself or with the "Operation" API.
One way to further the discussion is to propose an Operations API
implementation, compare it to the cleaned up patch I provided, and argue on the
pros and cons of each.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Benjamin Piwowarski
> Attachments:

> Original Estimate: 3h
> Remaining Estimate: 3h

> In the software I am writing, I need to execute commands when the filesystems
> "allows" it, i.e. local or via ssh (i.e. sftp filesystem).
> For a local filesystem, I can easily do this, but for Sftp, there is no way
> to get a channel different than the SFTP on, so it would be great if other
> channels could be open.
> I could submit a patch that would:
> 1) Allows a call to session.openChannel(String type) [following getChannel()]
> 2) Overwrite isReleaseable to keep the filesystem open if some external
> channels are open
