Dear Maintainer,

When copying files remotely using fish, if the local temporary
directory fills up, the copy fails saying that there is no disk space
to copy the file. This is somewhat confusing since the target may well
have plenty of space.

This isn’t helped by the fact that fish keeps its local copies even
when they have been transferred to the remote. Thus copying a set of
files larger than the available disk space on the local temporary file
system is guaranteed to fail, even if the files are individually small
enough to fit in the local temporary directory.

(The failure isn’t drastic: only the last copied file is affected, and
another copy can be started to continue copying.)

Regards,

Stephen
