Enhancement: Allow including or excluding extended file attributes

during restore.

# Describe the problem in the past tense, the new behavior in the present
|
|
# tense. Mention the affected commands, backends, operating systems, etc.
|
|
# If the problem description just says that a feature was missing, then
|
|
# only explain the new behavior.
|
|
# Focus on user-facing behavior, not the implementation.
|
|
# Use "Restic now ..." instead of "We have changed ...".

Restic restore used to attempt to restore all extended file attributes.
|
|
Now two new command line flags are added to restore to control which
|
|
extended file attributes will be restored.
|
|
|
|
The new flags are `--exclude-xattr` and `--include-xattr`.
|
|
|
|
If the flags are not provided, restic will default to restoring
|
|
only `user` namespaced extended file attributes on Linux, and all
|
|
extended file attributes on other operating systems.
