Comment (by yawning):

 I have this working (as in tested) as part of my work in progress, not
 uploaded yet #20778 branch.

 The one shortcoming to the new code as is, would be that if the user fails
 the partial update, and cancels the complete update, when they come back
 later, it will re-attempt the incremental update, wasting a bit of time
 and bandwidth.  I guess I can add a flag or something to force the
 complete update...
