Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

This command mounts an archive as a FUSE filesystem. This can be useful for
browsing an archive or restoring individual files. Unless the ``--foreground``
option is given the command will run in the background until the filesystem
is ``umounted``.

The command ``borgfs`` provides a wrapper for ``borg mount``. This can also be
used in fstab entries:
``/path/to/repo /mnt/point fuse.borgfs defaults,noauto 0 0``

To allow a regular user to use fstab entries, add the ``user`` option:
``/path/to/repo /mnt/point fuse.borgfs defaults,noauto,user 0 0``
