Dmitry Astapov dc1c8c062c Reiterate that 'file cache names are absolute' in FAQ (#4738)
Reiterate that 'file cache names are absolute'

Drive home the point that relative source names does not save you from re-chunking if absolute pathnames change.

Also: mention bind mount solution.

ntova 627ca1376b Fix various code blocks in the docs (#4708)
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.

Milkey Mouse 5b47cf6fa5
Add borg config command (fixes #3304)
This command works similarly to "git config" - it parses repo and
cache configs to get, set, and delete values. It only works on local
repos so a malicious client can't e.g. override their storage quota
or reset the append_only flag.

Add tests for borg config

Add documentation for borg config

Change manual config edits -> borg config

There were a couple places in the documentation where it was advised
to edit the repository or cache config file, a process that is stream-
lined by borg config.

Antoine Beaupré 1a2906ae7e add FAQ about removing old files and policies
This has been asked twice already this year:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/borgbackup/2017q3/000796.html
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/borgbackup/2017q4/000891.html

... and I was asked again privately today, so this qualifies as FAQ to
me.

Thomas Waldmann e674822888 remove hardlinked symlinks warning, update docs, fixes #3175
the warning was annoying for people with a lot of such items and
they can not do anything about it anyway.

thus, just document this as a limitation.

Exporting $RATE as environment variable is not need in this case.

And example does not use any bash specific features.
It should use default system shell instead.
