Rayyan Ansari 66a407ff9f Use \n for the {NL} format specifier
\n is automatically converted on write to the platform-dependent os.linesep.
Using os.linesep instead of \n means that on Windows, the line ending becomes "\r\r\n".
Also switches mentions of {LF} to {NL} in code and docs.

Examples
~~~~~~~~
::
# export as uncompressed tar
$ borg export-tar Monday Monday.tar
# import an uncompressed tar
$ borg import-tar Monday Monday.tar
# exclude some file types, compress using gzip
$ borg export-tar Monday Monday.tar.gz --exclude '*.so'
# use higher compression level with gzip
$ borg export-tar --tar-filter="gzip -9" Monday Monday.tar.gz
# copy an archive from repoA to repoB
$ borg -r repoA export-tar --tar-format=BORG archive - | borg -r repoB import-tar archive -
# export a tar, but instead of storing it on disk, upload it to remote site using curl
$ borg export-tar Monday - | curl --data-binary @- https://somewhere/to/POST
# remote extraction via "tarpipe"
$ borg export-tar Monday - | ssh somewhere "cd extracted; tar x"
Archives transfer script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outputs a script that copies all archives from repo1 to repo2:
::
for A T in `borg list --format='{archive} {time:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S}{NL}'`
do
echo "borg -r repo1 export-tar --tar-format=BORG $A - | borg -r repo2 import-tar --timestamp=$T $A -"
done
Kept:
- archive name, archive timestamp
- archive contents (all items with metadata and data)
Lost:
- some archive metadata (like the original commandline, execution time, etc.)
Please note:
- all data goes over that pipe, again and again for every archive
- the pipe is dumb, there is no data or transfer time reduction there due to deduplication
- maybe add compression
- pipe over ssh for remote transfer
- no special sparse file support
