Why didn't I think of that when I wrote the client code? You can check
on the disk space a given directory occupies, but not the count of
files.

As you say, it should be trivial to implement. Hobbit already has the
mechanism in place to "count" lines in a logfile, so adding
file-counting should be a no-brainer.
