Antoine Beaupré 7f9a147e46 move fork differences to FAQ
it seems now that the fork is more of historical value than a current
thing. people interested in the differences between borg and attic can
look in the FAQ, but I do not see why this is present in the README.

a new section regarding compatibility is created to keep that warning
in place.

Thomas Waldmann 04ad1d1b0b use "part file", "part", etc. consistently
use .borg_part_N as filename to avoid collisions
2016-07-28 19:39:29 +02:00
Thomas Waldmann a7fca52f07 create part items rather than checkpoint items
checkpoint items: chunks abc, abcdef, abcdefghi, ....
part items: chunks abc, def, ghi

solves the "restore a big file over unstable connection issue" (not very comfortably, but
one can just extract one part after the other and concatenate them to get the full file)
