The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.
Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
The old behavior was problematic in the context of rebuild-index as it
could leave old, possibly invalid index files behind without returning a
fatal error.
Prune calls rebuildIndex before removing any data from the repository.
For this use case failing to delete an old index MUST be treated as a
fatal error. Otherwise the index could still contain an old index file
that refers to blobs/packs that were later on deleted by prune. Later
backup runs will assume that the affected blobs already exist in the
repository which results in a backup which misses data.
The previous check only approximately verified whether all required
blobs were found. However, after forgetting a few snapshots the
repository contains lots of unused blobs whose number can be sufficient
to make up for missing packs.
When coupled with a malfunctioning backend that temporarily returns broken
data this could cause restic to regard the corresponding packs as
invalid and thereby delete data that's still in use. This change lets
restic play it safe and refuse to delete anything if data is missing.
Do not lock the repository if --no-lock global flag is set. This allows
to mount repositories which are archived on a read only system.

The seen BlobSet always contained a subset of the entries in blobs.
Thus use blobs instead and avoid the memory overhead of the second set.

If a data blob and a tree blob with the same ID (= same content) exist,
then the checker did not report a data or tree blob as unused when the
blob of the other type was still in use.
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).
This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:
- 0 when the command was successful
- 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
- 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)
That site might not have supported https:// when those links were
originally added. It does now.
Also dropping the _spec.html_ ending of the url, there being a `<link
rel="canonical" ...>` tag suggesting that that no longer being the
preferred address.
cmd/restic/globals.go already provides Printf, Println and Warnf wrapper
which get their output streams from the globalOptions object. This
allows for stream replacements when testing.
