restart: clarify FROM and TARGET
During Analysis Preservation Bootcamp, the use of the restart
command with FROM and TARGET options became a bit confusing:
-
Does
-o FROM=mystepM -o TARGET=mystepN
mean that the workflow will restart including mystepM or that it will only run steps after mystepM? -
IOW, are "from" and "until" terms including or excluding the listed step?
What can we do?
-
We can document this better.
-
We can muse about better words to possibly improve the meaning to avoid misunderstandings. E.g. FROM/UNTIL would be a natural duo, although "until" may have the same problem (does it include or exclude its specified boundary?).
