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.

 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)

Thomas Waldmann e7f25d7821 docs: use zlib,6 compression in some examples, fixes #275 
This is what attic used by default, but borgbackup defaults to "no compression".

I just adjusted the command invocation, so we can keep the example output
(which shows that stuff was compressed).

Also: add FAQ item about compression.
