Description
Output of restic version
restic 0.16.5-dev (compiled manually) compiled with go1.22.0 on windows/amd64
What backend/service did you use to store the repository?
local
Problem description / Steps to reproduce
I used restic rewrite to exclude some folders / files from a few existing snapshots
Expected behavior
If files / folders get excluded in a rewrite then restic should recalculate the "Size" value which it displays when using restic snapshots
Actual behavior
Restic just copies the "Size" metadata which results in both the original and the rewritten snapshot displayed with the same size
Do you have any idea what may have caused this?
I haven't looked at the code but my guess would be that this "step" was simply forgotton as no other metadata is changed (except if you ask it to)
Did restic help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?
restic is great and I use it for server backups as well as dekstop pc backups
