Antoine Beaupré a8ab9c3445 document key files in a new Internals page
this is still incomplete as it only describes key files, but doesn't
clearly say how chunks are encrypted or decrypted.

this address parts of #29 but eventually that document should also
cover #27, #28 and maybe #45

Antoine Beaupré ac87360c7c document better different dependencies
this is written with recent Ubuntu and Debian in mind, but should be
working everywhere. the idea here is to make sure anyone can install
this without knowning too much about ACLs or anything similar.

anarcat 7d2ec79f95 document that hardlinks and symlinks are supported
it seems that hardlinks are supported, but were not explicitely documented in the documentation. the FAQ seems like the right place to do this. closes #133.

Yuri D'Elia 15c8a6323f Normalize source/exclude paths before matching
This normalizes the file names in the dot directory when specified explicitly,
along with exclude/include patterns.

This fixes several mismatches when including relative paths that involve the
current directory.

Jonas Borgström 80a2a4113f Revert "Reduce memory usage when backing up many small files"
The memory usage should be reduced a fair bit by #90 so this
might not be needed anymore. Or at least not enabled by default

Jonas Borgström 7f9fe03917 cache: Reduce file cache memory usage (#90)
The memory usage is reduced at the expence of extra msgpack
packing/unpacking. Hopefully this is a good tradeoff.

Ideally the entire cache should be replaced with a radix tree
but that will have to wait a bit.

Jonas Borgström 64cd6632a1 Avoid deadlock problems
