When i choose to create a copy for working distributed, the Host sends me ALL the files from his project, even if i have an identical copy of his project.
There seesms to be a bug that prevents saros from understanding that the peer already has a bunch of files (or even all files) and should only send the missing or different files.
Do not try to find the issue in the code, it would probably be a waste of time! I am working on a refactoring of the wizard where this functionality is integrated.
There is no reason for not doing the copying directly in the new dialog, so saros will just see a regular project, that is being reused as "existing project", completely avoiding this bug.
Also matching user expectations better.
User would not expect, if he create a copy, that he must "download" the whole project.
