in the finished == true message, these are missing:
- message
- current / total
- info
This is to be somewhat consistent with #6683 by only providing a
minimal set of values for the finished case.
The finished messages is primarily intended for cleanup purposes,
e.g. clearing the progress display.
borg now has the chunks list in every item with content.
due to the symmetric way how borg now deals with hardlinks using
item.hlid, processing gets much simpler.
but some places where borg deals with other "sources" of hardlinks
still need to do some hardlink management:
borg uses the HardLinkManager there now (which is not much more
than a dict, but keeps documentation at one place and avoids some
code duplication we had before).
item.hlid is computed via hardlink_id function.
support hardlinked symlinks, fixes#2379
as we use item.hlid now to group hardlinks together,
there is no conflict with the item.source usage for
symlink targets any more.
2nd+ hardlinks now add to the files count as did the 1st one.
for borg, now all hardlinks are created equal.
so any hardlink item with chunks now adds to the "file" count.
ItemFormatter: support {hlid} instead of {source} for hardlinks
"passphrase" encryption mode repos can not be created since borg 1.0.
back then, users were advised to switch existing repos of that type
to repokey mode using the "borg key migrate-to-repokey" command.
that command is still available in borg 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, but not
any more in borg >= 1.3.
while we still might see the PassphraseKey.TYPE byte in old repos,
it is handled by the RepoKey code since borg 1.0.
docs: clarify on-disk order and size of log entry fields
The order of the fields of a log entry on disk is CRC32 first, the docs had the size first.
I tried to make this list similar to the HashIndex struct description.
the movement of the start of the hashing window stops at (file_size - window_size), thus THAT would be the factor in that formula, not just file_size.
for medium and big files, window_size is much smaller than file_size, so guess we can just say "approximately" for the general case.
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.
We know use only "target chunk size" when speaking of the chunk size
that is expected to happen most of the time. This removes statistical
and mathematical inacurracies that could be troublesome for mathematical
people.
Fixes#5336
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

Because some of the JSON blocks in frontends.rst included non-JSON
contents (user replies, etc.) the blocks didn't parse/highlight and
`make html` complained:
borg/docs/internals/frontends.rst:28: WARNING: Could not lex literal_block as "json".
There's no easy way to enable and disable highlighting just for
specific lines, but individually unsetting the highlight language per
block suppresses the warnings.
borg list by default does not compute expensive values except when
they are needed. whether they are needed is determined by the format,
in standard mode as well as in --json mode.
