When the backup finishes during a transfer of such +an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled, but the backup is finished +without an error. This leads to an inconsistent state, where the snapshot +references data that is contained in the repo, but is not referenced in any +index. + +The situation can be resolved by building a new index with `rebuild-index`, but +looks very confusing at first. Since all the data got uploaded to the repo +successfully, there was no risk of data loss, just minor inconvenience for our +users. + +https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/1589 +https://forum.restic.net/t/error-loading-tree-check-prune-and-forget-gives-error-b2-backend/406
