This also includes two derived options `--from-insecure-no-password`
used for commands that require specifying a source repository. And
`--new-insecure-no-password` for the `key add` and `key passwd`
commands.
Specifying `--insecure-no-password` disabled the password prompt and
immediately uses an empty password. Passing a password via CLI option or
environment variable at the same time is an error.
use the same index size for compressed and uncompressed indexes.
Otherwise, decoding the index of a compressed repository requires
significantly more memory.
Pack files created by interrupted prune runs, appear to consist only of
duplicate blobs on the next run. This caused the previous heuristic to
ignore those pack files. Now, a duplicate blob in a specific pack file
is also selected if that pack file only contains duplicate blobs. This
allows prune to select the already rewritten pack files.
Rewrite implements a streaming rewrite of the index that excludes the
given packs. For this it loads all index files from the repository and
only modifies those that require changes. This will reduce the index
churn when running prune. Rewrite does not require the in-memory index
and thus can drop it to significantly reduce the memory usage.
However, `prune --unsafe-recovery` cannot use this strategy and requires
a separate method to save the whole in-memory index. This is now handled
using SaveFallback.
To prevent accidentally wiping all snapshots from a repository, that
option can only be used if either a snapshot filter or a keep policy is
specified.
Essentially, the option allows `forget --tag something
--unsafe-allow-remove-all` calls to remove all snapshots with a specific
tag.
`--keep-tag invalid-tag` was previously able to wipe all snapshots in a
repository. As a user specified a `--keep-*` option this is likely
unintentional. This forbid deleting all snapshot if a `--keep-*` option
was specified to prevent data loss. (Not specifying such an option
currently also causes the command to abort)
The toplevel context in restic only canceled if the user interrupts a
restic operation. If the network connection has failed this can require
waiting the full retry duration of 15 minutes which is a bad user
experience for interactive usage. Thus limit the delay to one minute in
this case.
