Clearer documentation for dataget #715
Description
Two additional pieces of info I think would be helpful for a dataget user in the "How to get data" modal:
-
Look for
Finished getting all files for the matching subject(s)/session(s) from DataLadto indicate the data fetching is complete. Otherwise, due to the verbosity ofdatagetlogs (see related Reduce verbosity and include progress counter dataget#17), it's hard to tell when DataLad is hanging or just taking a long time for a bigger dataset.e.g., you'll often see the following which looks deceptively like a completion message:
action summary: get (ok: 7) -
A brief explainer that
datagetwill 'clone' the entire repo for a matching dataset, but only get the contents of specific matching subjects within that repo. While we refer to "matching subjects" in the modal, I think it's not obvious to users unfamiliar with DataLad how our method differs from a regular git clone or just downloading the entire dataset (esp because if you look at the output directory contents, it appears as if all the subjects and subject data is there).
