"lfs mirror delete" should resync file if needed

XMLWordPrintable

      If "lfs mirror delete" is called on a file to delete a specific mirror (eg. with "-p <pool>" or "--comp-id <id>", but that is the only non-stale mirror of the file, it makes sense from a usability point of view to automatically resync the stale mirror(s) and then remove the mirror as requested by the user, rather than returning an error to the user.

      Otherwise, the user will first have to understand that the stale mirrors are preventing their request from completing, then manually resync the mirror with "lfs mirror resync" before calling "lfs mirror delete" again. Since "lfs mirror delete" could do the resync directly, why bother the user to have to understand this problem and do the resync manually?
