This could lead to strange issues when multiple events are emitted from the stream.

I think this will be okay. The exporter stream in object mode only emits one data event per file. And cat can only request one file to my knowledge. If we allow at some point for cat to take multiple hashs and return multiple file objects then we could have a problem with this. Thoughts?

It probably will be okay, but I think @dignifiedquire's point was about approaching the mechanism defensively: just because today we can reason out that this should never happen doesn't mean future changes by future authors will always know+remember to hold this requirement. "It's a stream after all, and you can have many data events on streams.."

this will need PR to be merged |

I believe this console.log should not be here and the if (res) is not necessary.

I think @dignifiedquire had an unresolved line comment on this? |
This is currently using the unixfs-engine event emitter but will be switching to a full duplex stream in the
unixfs-engine.exportersoon
