This removes the requirement on `restic self-update --output` to point
to a path of an existing file, to overwrite. In case the specified
path does exist we still want to verify that it's a regular file,
rather than a directory or a device, which gets overwritten.
We also want to verify that a path to a new file exists within an
existing directory. The alternative being running into that issue
after the actual download, etc has completed.
While at it I also replace `errors.Errorf` with the more appropriately
verbose `errors.Fatalf`.
Resolves#2491
As an alternative to -r, this allows to read the repository URL
from a file in order to prevent certain types of information leaks,
especially for URLs containing credentials.
Fixes#1458, fixes#2900.
This allows creating multiple repositories with identical chunker
parameters which is required for working deduplication when copying
snapshots between different repositories.
Previously the directory stats were reported immediately after calling
`SaveDir`. However, as the latter method saves the tree asynchronously
the stats were still initialized to their nil value. The stats are now
reported via a callback similar to the one used for the fileSaver.
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.
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.

- Add Open() functionality to dir
- only access index for blobs when file is read
- Implement NodeOpener and put one-time file stuff there
- Add comment about locking as suggested by bazil.org/fuse
=> Thanks at Michael Eischer for suggesting the last two improvements
In the Google Cloud Storage backend, support specifying access tokens
directly, as an alternative to a credentials file. This is useful when
restic is used non-interactively by some other program that is already
authenticated and eliminates the need to store long lived credentials.
The access token is specified in the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment
variable and takes precedence over GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.
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)
