What does this PR change? What problem does it solve?
Since restic 0.17.0,
restic repair index --read-all-packscreates a single large index, which significantly increases memory consumption. The PR changes theMasterIndex.StorePackmethod signature to prevent incorrect usages (aka. not immediately uploading full indexes).In addition,
restic repair indexnow automatically rewrites such oversized indexes.Was the change previously discussed in an issue or on the forum?
