Comment (by knarf):

 I might be interested in such a 'get' command, but personally I am not so
 much concerned about consistency. As long as a simulation is running I
 accept that files might be inconsistent between each other, and in the
 case of hdf5 might also be broken at times. Pausing a simulation and
 wasting SUs that way just to get a snapshot of the data 100% reliably
 doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Automatically checking that an hdf5
 file isn't broken would be nice though. However, making sure the file is
 'current' seems unnecessary. I usually don't care to have the absolutely
 last timestep if that was just written and would like to avoid another
 rsync for that; especially if yet another timestep might be written during
 that time.

 Of course, as soon as a simulation finished all of this isn't an issue
 anymore anyway.
