Another problem with file conversion in-stream is what to do with the converted file on the source system. You could store it as a tmp file somewhere, (bad, again creating the different filename/sort order problem which seems to require a protocol revision to solve) or you could hold it in memory (and possibly create enormous memory requirements) and then patch all of the functions that get file comparison info (size, ctime, mtime, checksum, etc) to deal with memory blocks (even worse, and you still create the same problem to safely put the new file into a different filename on the destination). Everything seems to rely on a 1-to-1 source-to-destination filename-to-filename and diskfile-to-diskfile mapping. The only thing I've found that can vary between the two is the basedir, and that's only set once for the entire flist.
