add remote upload buffer (--remote-buffer)
- added new option --remote-buffer
- allow to_send to grow to selected size
- don't grow if wait is specified
- fill pipe on any command (including 'async_response')
- add new option to docs
- create EfficientBytesQueue to prevent recreation of buffer each time we send something
- add tests for EfficientBytesQueue
a file map can be:
- created internally inside chunkify by calling sparsemap, which uses
SEEK_DATA / SEEK_HOLE to determine data and hole ranges inside a
seekable sparse file.
Usage: borg create --sparse --chunker-params=fixed,BLOCKSIZE ...
BLOCKSIZE is the chunker blocksize here, not the filesystem blocksize!
- made by some other means and given to the chunkify function.
this is not used yet, but in future this could be used to only read
the changed parts and seek over the (known) unchanged parts of a file.
sparsemap: the generate range sizes are multiples of the fs block size.
the tests assume 4kiB fs block size.
rephrase some warnings, fixes#5164
borg check --repair and borg recreate are now present in the code since rather long, so they are not experimental any more.
borg recreate might be used wrongly (e.g. accidentally excluding everything / not matching anything when recreating an archive). added some warning words in the docs, but it will not ask for confirmation any more.
borg check: there might be kinds of corruption borg check --repair can not fix and it might make things even worse while trying to fix. so this will still ask for confirmation, just with different wording.
locking: fix ExclusiveLock race condition bug, fixes#4923
- ExclusiveLock is now based on os.rename instead of os.mkdir.
- catch FileNotFoundError observed under race condition in ExclusiveLock.release()
and .kill_stale_lock()
- added TestExclusiveLock.test_race_condition() which reveals issue #4923
- updated docs
- locking: use "raise LockTimeout from None" for prettier traceback

The umask value is NOT transmitted from client to server any more,
so the borg client can not influence the borg server umask any more.
If one wants to have a specific umask on the server side, one needs to
use a ssh forced command in .ssh/authorized_keys file.
OTOH, as the default value is 077 (in general, for client as well as for
the server) and the server does not take the value from the client any more,
there usually should be no need to give it on the server side, IF you are
happy with the default value.
Running 'borg key import' on a keyfile repository with the BORG_KEY_FILE
environment variable set works correctly if the BORG_KEY_FILE file
already exists. However, the command crashes if the BORG_KEY_FILE file
does not exist:
$ BORG_KEY_FILE=newborgkey borg key import /home/strager/borg-backups/straglum borgkey

Make 'borg key import' not require the BORG_KEY_FILE file to already
exist.
This commit does not change the behavior of 'borg key import' without
BORG_KEY_FILE. This commit also does not change the behavior of 'borg
key import' on a repokey repository.
general.rst and man_intro.rst both included usage_general.rst.inc, which resulted in three Sphinx warning "WARNING: duplicate label".
To prevent this we move all sections of usage_general into own include files and add a second usage_general file without the three labels.
Fix various code blocks in the docs
- rst markup: put codeblock markup on separate line to make it better visible / separate it from normal text colons.
- borg help texts in archiver.py: put codeblock markup instead of colon - that way it looks like a single colon when using the cli help and also works as code block markup.
add a push-style example to borg-create docs
When I browsed the readthedocs and manpages while setting up Borg for
myself for the first time, I saw multiple hints that pushing backups via
SSH is supported (e.g. the existence of the `borg serve` command and the
`--rsh` option), but I never found a clear example. I only found
<https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/general.html#repository-urls>
after being pointed to it by @ThomasWaldmann.
Therefore, an explicit example in the `borg create` documentation seems
appropriate. I put it next to the pull-style example using sshfs which
serves a similar usecase.
Add "SSH Configuration" section
Add "SSH Configuration" section to "borg serve" documentation, to outline ssh/sshd configuration to prevent borg serve keeping a lock on a repo in the event the ssh connection is abnormally disconnected.
In response to issues #3988, #636 and #4485 (and probably others).
