Why was Borg forked from Attic?
Borg was created in may 2015 in response to the difficulty of
getting new merge requests and larger changes incorporated into
attic. more details can be found in the fairly long discussion
in attic issue queue (found in `ticket 217
<https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/217>`_) that led to the fork.
Borg intends to be:
* simple:
* as simple as possible, but no simpler
* do the right thing by default, but offer options
* open:
* welcome feature requests
* accept pull requests of good quality and coding style
* give feedback on PRs that can't be accepted "as is"
* discuss openly, don't work in the dark
* changing:
* do not break compatibility accidentally, without a good reason
or without warning
* Borg is not backwards-compatible with attic
* major versions may not be compatible with older releases
