[Swift-user] Argument list to long

[Jonathan Monette]

  well if I am understanding the problem the input list will be about 
4100 files and the output list will be a single file (unless Swift adds 
more input and output files).  I do not think I am using provider 
staging though.  In my swift.properties i do not set the 
use.provider.staging option and in etc/swift.properties 
use.provider.staging is set to false.
