I think his objection is that it gets 20 minutes into the import, then
dies on one file, and after you fix that file, maybe it will go 40
minutes, then die on another file, and so on.
It would be more user-friendly to report *all* the problem files after
a single run. This might be complex to implement, but it's certainly
possible, and I wouldn't be averse to an enhancement issue being filed
about it. What do you think?
