The restore subcommand needn't restore every file in the manifest. This can currently be worked around by editing the datarestore- script prior to running it, but all the content referenced by the manifest is downloaded prior to that point, so it is a waste of time downloading files (unless to run comparisons). It would be nice if a --partial flag provided a nice curses-based menu for selecting/deselecting files for restore and then only downloading those selected.
