Why is the time elapsed in the archive stats different from wall clock time?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borg needs to write the time elapsed into the archive metadata before finalizing
the archive, compacting the segments, and committing the repo & cache. This means
when Borg is run with e.g. the ``time`` command, the duration shown in the archive
stats may be shorter than the full time the command runs for.
