Enhancement: Ignore additional/unknown files in repository

If a restic repository had additional files in it (not created by restic),
commands like `find` and `restore` could become confused and fail with an
`multiple IDs with prefix "12345678" found` error. These commands now
ignore such additional files.

restic: ignore filenames which are not IDs when expanding a prefix Some backends generate additional files for each existing file, e.g. 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.sha256 For some commands this leads to an "multiple IDs with prefix" error when trying to reference a snapshot. 2022-09-27 20:03:46 +02:00
