+Enhancement: Improve `repair packs` command
+
+The `repair packs` command has been improved to also be able to process
+truncated pack files. The `check --read-data` command will provide instructions
+on using the command if necessary to repair a repository. See the guide at
+https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/077_troubleshooting.html for further
+instructions.
