aa0a7b78a8 doc: prune --max-unused unlimited will still repack metadata
Adding minor clarification to documentation of `prune --max-unused unlimited` to indicate metadata will still be repacked. The referenced PR indicates `max-repack-size` CAN limit metadata repacking.

9ccdba9df6 Add repositoryFile2 option
The `init` and `copy` commands can now use `--repository-file2` flag and
the `$RESTIC_REPOSITORY_FILE2` environment variable.

This also fixes the conflict with the `--repository-file` and `--repo2`
flag.

Tests are added for the initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.

This adds a NOK function to the test helper functions. This NOK tests if
err is not nil, and otherwise fail the test.

With the NOK function a couple of sad paths are tested in the
initSecondaryGlobalOpts function.

In total the tests checks wether the following are passed correct:
   - Password
   - PasswordFile
   - Repo
   - RepositoryFile

The following situation must return an error to pass the test:
   - no Repo or RepositoryFile defined
   - Repo and RepositoryFile defined both

Add PGP fingerprint to 020_installation.rst
I like the idea of verifying the integrity of applications, I download from the internet. So I was very happy to see that restic does provide SHA256-checksums which are signed with the maintainers PGP key.

The only thing I miss: I could not find a direct way to download the used PGP key and verify the keys fingerprint.

Doing some searches, I found:
* https://github.com/restic/rest-server/issues/121
* https://restic.net/blog/2015-09-16/verifying-code-archive-integrity/

To help other restic users, I think you should add information about your PGP key/fingerprint to this installation doc, too. To save you some precious time, I created a draft, how this doc might be expanded, in this pull-request. You are free to accept it or change the text to your liking.

I copied the key/fingerprint text from: ``restic/restic/master/doc/090_participating.rst``

Thank you for your work in restic!

c1a3de4a6e Refactor max-unused calculation, add unlimited option
Add a callback to the PruneOptions struct which calculates the number of
bytes allowed to be unused after prune is done. This way, the logic is
closer to the option parsing code.

Also, add an explicit option `unlimited` for the use case when storage
does not matter but bandwidth and time do. Internally, this sets the
maximum number of unused bytes to MaxUint64.

Rework the documentation slightly so that no more "packs" are
mentioned and it talks about "files" instead.

Make it clear in the documentation that the percentage given to
`--max-unused` is relative to the whole repository size after pruning is
done. If specified, it must be below 100%, otherwise the repository
would contain 100% of unused data, which is pointless.

I had a hard time coming up with the correct formula to calculate the
maximum number of unused bytes based on the number of used bytes. For a
fraction `p` (0 ≤ p < 1), a repo with `u` bytes used, and the number of
unused bytes `x` the following holds:

      x ≤ p * (u+x)
    ⇔ x ≤ p*u + p*x
    ⇔ x - p*x ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x * (1-p) ≤ p*u
    ⇔ x ≤ p/(1-p) * u

ae179ee63e Systematize documentation of environment variables
Cache locations were documented inconsistently in three places.

The backup docs mentioned PATH being used to find fusermount, which is
never run by restic backup. It now mentions ssh and rclone, which are
used by backends.

The notion of a "system-wide" environment variable makes no sense.
TMPDIR is now mentioned because it allows for optimization and may
have security implications.

2447f3f110 Update usage strings to put flags before args
The standard UNIX-style ordering of command-line arguments places
optional flags before other positional arguments. All of restic's
commands support this ordering, but some of the usage strings showed the
flags after the positional arguments (which restic also parses just
fine). This change updates the doc strings to reflect the standard
ordering.

Because the `restic help` command comes directly from Cobra, there does
not appear to be a way to update the argument ordering in its usage
string, so it maintains the non-standard ordering (positional arguments
before optional flags).

authenticated and eliminates the need to store long lived credentials.

The access token is specified in the GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN environment
variable and takes precedence over GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

5729d967f5 backup: Return exit status code 3 when failing to read source data
The backup command used to return a zero exit code as long as a snapshot
could be created successfully, even if some of the source files could not
be read (in which case the snapshot would contain the rest of the files).

This made it hard for automation/scripts to detect failures/incomplete
backups by looking at the exit code. Restic now returns the following exit
codes for the backup command:

 - 0 when the command was successful
 - 1 when there was a fatal error (no snapshot created)
 - 3 when some source data could not be read (incomplete snapshot created)

f1b4d97945 doc: Warn about compatibility issues with CIFS and restic
On Linux CIFS (SMB) seems to be incompatible with the async preemption
implementation of Go 1.14. CIFS seems not to restart syscalls (open,
read, chmod, readdir, ...) as expected by Go, which sets SA_RESTART for
its signal handler to have syscalls restarted automatically. This leads
to Go passing up lots of EINTR return codes to restic.

See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2659 for a detailed explanation.

5ae7e6f945 docs: switch to gopher favicon
The favicon on restic.readthedocs.io still contained the old
superman-style logo.

This changes it to the 32x32 gopher icon also used on https://forum.restic.net/ ,
just converted to .ico using Gimp.

Tested by building the documentation and opening index.html in Chrome.
The new favicon looks fine.

Clarify live status display
When I backup one of my filesystems which has a lot of Hard Links (Backup directory of burp) the live status shows me 4.5 TB but it only takes up 1.2 TB of space in the repository. This is confusing because my repo is on S3 and I feared a huge Bill. This change should clarify this.

The bits from the manual that I could not immediately put into the new
structure are contained in manual_rest.rst Anything else is still there,
nothing has been deleted.

I changed the heading markup to follow the convention used in Python’s
Style Guide for documentation, this convention is explained in a comment
at the top of every file.

I also added a paragraph on installing restic on Debian.

fa0be82da8 gs: allow backend creation without storage.buckets.get
If the service account used with restic does not have the
storage.buckets.get permission (in the "Storage Admin" role), Create
cannot use Get to determine if the bucket is accessible.

Rather than always trying to create the bucket on Get error, gracefully
fall back to assuming the bucket is accessible. If it is, restic init
will complete successfully. If it is not, it will fail on a later call.

Here is what init looks like now in different cases.

Service account without "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible (this is the case that didn't work
before):

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c02e2edb67 at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

Bucket exists but is not accessible:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
create key in backend at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/ failed:
service.Objects.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have
storage.objects.create access to object this-bucket-exists/keys/0fa714e695c8ecd58cb467cdeb04d36f3b710f883496a90f23cae0315daf0b93., forbidden

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
create backend at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/ failed:
service.Buckets.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have storage.buckets.create access to bucket this-bucket-does-not-exist., forbidden

Service account with "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible: Same

Bucket exists but is not accessible: Same. Previously this would fail
when Create tried to create the bucket. Now it fails when trying to
create the keys.

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c3c48b481d at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

dbda892542 Add option to exclude directories with a tagfile
The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.

There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.

Closes #317.

ae43c47ca8 doc: add mention of restore --exclude/--include
There is a lot more detail that could be added here, but it is worth
getting things off the ground with at least a mention that it is
possible to restore individual files.

* Replace references to ~/shared/work/web which should be ~/web.

* Replace references to ~/tmp which should be /tmp.

* Restore /home/art to /tmp/restore-art instead of /tmp/restore-work,
  which is clearly a copy/paste from the command above.

929f90344e Change backup policy to be inclusive, meaning all given policies
are evaluated for each snapshot, thereby making sure that each
keep-* is able to retain its most recent snapshot. Thereby insuring
that weeklies keep Sundays around and monthlies keep the last day of
the month around.

Added testcase to make sure when multiple --keep-tags are given,
ALL of them need to match.
