Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
What I'm trying to do and why
I am replacing an existing made-with-love borg script by borgmatic.
It appears I am using fqdn-dependant repository names.
Borgmatic don't documentate it support this feature, but after reading code and after testing it, it appears to work properly, as it is mentionned in borg's help ("Repository (or Archive) URLs, --prefix, --glob-archives, --comment and --remote-path values support these placeholders").
Other notes / implementation ideas
I simply suggest to mention it in the documentation and to add a simple non regression testing.
Environment
borgmatic version: 1.2.11-1
borgmatic installation method: Debian package
Borg version: 1.1.9-2
operating system and version: Debian 10
Thank you for filing this! I'm always striving to make the documentation clearer. Could you say what you mean by "fqdn-dependent repository names" and/or give an example?
I'm imagining you're referring to "remote repositories" as described in the Borg docs, but I want to make sure.
Was the problem that you initially thought, based on the borgmatic docs, borgmatic only supported local filesystem repository paths?
Oh, I see what you're talking about based on the pull request! witten/borgmatic#371 ... Interesting. I didn't even know about that feature.
Just released in borgmatic 1.5.11!
