Well, we also ought to roll back the changes.

One way would be to output the new logs to a new folder (e.g.  
“Imported logs 2007-04-11 014838”), and when the import finishes, run  
a subprocess that cds into the folder, makes a tar archive of its  
contents, cds into the real Logs folder, untars the archive, and  
unlinks the archive. Then, canceling this operation consists of  
unlinking the archive. Whether it succeeds, fails, or is canceled, it  
would be immediately followed by moving the folder to the Trash.
