It would be nice to have a flag that caused dat to quit when done downloading, instead of waiting forever for more updates.

This would apply to dat sync, dat clone, dat pull, and the shortcuts dat <link> and dat <dir>.

Seems like there once were related flags --exit, --no-watch, --no-live? But these are not listed in the command line help now.

(dat clone does exit after it finishes the first download of an archive. On subsequent runs it waits forever for updates.)

--exit should still work. dat clone and dat pull should exit when updated, unless there aren't any remote updates. Right now --exit and pull/clone do not exit if the remote isn't changed, can track those bugs in #892 and #810.

We can keep this open to add --exit to the help info.
