var cmdRewrite = &cobra.Command{
	Use:   "rewrite [flags] [snapshotID ...]",
	Short: "Rewrite snapshots to exclude unwanted files",
	Long: `
The "rewrite" command excludes files from existing snapshots. It creates new
snapshots containing the same data as the original ones, but without the files
you specify to exclude. All metadata (time, host, tags) will be preserved.

The snapshots to rewrite are specified using the --host, --tag and --path options,
or by providing a list of snapshot IDs. Please note that specifying neither any of
these options nor a snapshot ID will cause the command to rewrite all snapshots.

The special tag 'rewrite' will be added to the new snapshots to distinguish
them from the original ones, unless --forget is used. If the --forget option is
used, the original snapshots will instead be directly removed from the repository.

Please note that the --forget option only removes the snapshots and not the actual
data stored in the repository. In order to delete the no longer referenced data,
use the "prune" command.

EXIT STATUS
===========

Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
