This PR adds the ability of chaining the credentials provider,
such that restic as a tool attempts to honor credentials from
multiple different ways.
Currently supported mechanisms are
- static (user-provided)
- IAM profile (only valid inside configured ec2 instances)
- Standard AWS envs (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
- Standard Minio envs (MINIO_ACCESS_KEY, MINIO_SECRET_KEY)

Backup was choosing a parent snapshot that had the same tags, which
makes backup unnecessarily slow when there are newer snapshots with
different tags.
There's no reason parent has to have the same tags.
This change makes backup choose the newest snapshot instead.
This removes the conditions that checks if the password is supplied
through environment variable or file and outputs password is successful
on terminal and when --quiet is not supplied.
This adds some feedback when entering the password on the command line.
When the password is entered and supplied through stdin (and stdout is a
terminal) then the a message saying `password is correct` if correct is
printed.
This adds additional output to the check command when no errors were
found. It means that when all checks have been completed, the following
output is displayed:
No errors were found
The output is added to make sure that it is easier to understand that no
errors were found.
Full example output:
Create exclusive lock for repository
Load indexes
Check all packs
Check snapshots, trees and blobs
No errors were found
PR #1287 changed the default cache location on darwin and windows.
Update the changelog and manual to reflect the new behavior.
Since the cache hasn't been included in an official release yet, I've
just changed the main cache changelog entry.
Fixes#1309
This commit refactors the documentation according to my proposal in #1273
and the discussion I had with fd0 on IRC.
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.
