I just discovered the rsync method (what a godsend!). Unfortunately, it
doesn't always read the remote file (maybe once every three or four tries),
failing with the following message:
tramp-handle-file-local-copy: `rsync' didn't work, see buffer `*tramp
output*' for details
In these cases the *tramp output* buffer is empty (no help there), and
nothing unusual turns up in the *debug ...* buffer. It sort of appears from
looking at the blinking lights on my Xrouter that it actually manages to
download the file, but then barfs doing something locally. Unfortunately, I
can't edebug-defun tramp-handle-file-local-copy so I can trace execution of
that function. Something keeps edebug from parsing the function definition.
It spits out
Invalid read syntax: "Expected", ("lambda" cl-lambda-list def-body)
and sets point to just after the "#'" in the apply call.
Any suggestions about how to debug from this point?
