As an alternative to -r, this allows to read the repository URL
from a file in order to prevent certain types of information leaks,
especially for URLs containing credentials.
Fixes#1458, fixes#2900.
Add a copy command to copy snapshots between repositories. It allows the user
to specify a destination repository, password, password-file, password-command
or key-hint to supply the necessary details to open the destination repository.
You need to supply a list of snapshots to copy, snapshots which already exist
in the destination repository will be skipped.
Note, when using the network this becomes rather slow, as it needs to read the
blocks, decrypt them using the source key, then encrypt them again using the
destination key before finally writing them out to the destination repository.
restic uses a cleanup hook to ensure that it restores the terminal
configuration to a sane state, when restic is interrupted while reading
a password from the terminal. However, this causes a problem, when
restic runs in a background job, as reconfiguring a terminal will cause
a SIGTTOU to be sent to restic pausing it. Therefore, restic seems to
hang on shutdown when it was running in the background.
This commit changes the behavior to only restore the terminal
configuration if restic was interrupted while reading a password from
the terminal. As reading a password from the terminal requires that
restic is in the foreground, this should avoid restic getting stopped.
Fixes#2298
Issue introduced in #402
Restic used to quit if the repository password was typed incorrectly once.
Restic will now ask the user again for the repository password if typed incorrectly.
The user will now get three tries to input the correct password before restic quits.
Reading the password from non-terminal stdin used io.ReadFull with a
byte slice of length 1000.
We are now using a Scanner to read one line of input, independent of its
length.
Additionally, if stdin is not a terminal, the password is read only
once instead of twice (in an effort to detect typos).
Fixes#2203

Sometimes, users run restic without retaining the local cache
directories. This was reported several times in the past.
Restic will now print a message whenever a new cache directory is
created from scratch (i.e. it did not exist before), so users have a
chance to recognize when the cache is not kept between different runs of
restic.
