Enhancement: Add key hinting
|
|
|
|
Added a new option `--key-hint` and corresponding environment variable
|
|
`RESTIC_KEY_HINT`. The key hint is a key ID to try decrypting first, before
|
|
other keys in the repository.
|
|
|
|
This change will benefit repositories with many keys; if the correct key hint
|
|
is supplied then restic only needs to check one key. If the key hint is
|
|
incorrect (the key does not exist, or the password is incorrect) then restic
|
|
will check all keys, as usual.
