Michael Pratt 9fa4f5eb6b gs: disable resumable uploads
By default, the GCS Go packages have an internal "chunk size" of 8MB,
used for blob uploads.

Media().Do() will buffer a full 8MB from the io.Reader (or less if EOF
is reached) then write that full 8MB to the network all at once.

This behavior does not play nicely with --limit-upload, which only
limits the Reader passed to Media. While the long-term average upload
rate will be correctly limited, the actual network bandwidth will be
very spikey.

e.g., if an 8MB/s connection is limited to 1MB/s, Media().Do() will
spend 8s reading from the rate-limited reader (performing no network
requests), then 1s writing to the network at 8MB/s.

This is bad for network connections hurt by full-speed uploads,
particularly when writing 8MB will take several seconds.

Disable resumable uploads entirely by setting the chunk size to zero.
This causes the io.Reader to be passed further down the request stack,
where there is less (but still some) buffering.

My connection is around 1.5MB/s up, with nominal ~15ms ping times to
8.8.8.8.

Without this change, --limit-upload 1024 results in several seconds of
~200ms ping times (uploading), followed by several seconds of ~15ms ping
times (reading from rate-limited reader). A bandwidth monitor reports
this as several seconds of ~1.5MB/s followed by several seconds of
0.0MB/s.

With this change, --limit-upload 1024 results in ~20ms ping times and
the bandwidth monitor reports a constant ~1MB/s.

I've elected to make this change unconditional of --limit-upload because
the resumable uploads shouldn't be providing much benefit anyways, as
restic already uploads mostly small blobs and already has a retry
mechanism.

--limit-download is not affected by this problem, as Get().Download()
returns the real http.Response.Body without any internal buffering.

Michael Pratt 5ab9e12b46 Clarify cache location documentation
PR #1287 changed the default cache location on darwin and windows.
Update the changelog and manual to reflect the new behavior.

Since the cache hasn't been included in an official release yet, I've
just changed the main cache changelog entry.

Michael Pratt fa0be82da8 gs: allow backend creation without storage.buckets.get
If the service account used with restic does not have the
storage.buckets.get permission (in the "Storage Admin" role), Create
cannot use Get to determine if the bucket is accessible.

Rather than always trying to create the bucket on Get error, gracefully
fall back to assuming the bucket is accessible. If it is, restic init
will complete successfully. If it is not, it will fail on a later call.

Here is what init looks like now in different cases.

Service account without "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible (this is the case that didn't work
before):

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c02e2edb67 at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

Bucket exists but is not accessible:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
create key in backend at gs:this-bucket-does-exist:/ failed:
service.Objects.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have
storage.objects.create access to object this-bucket-exists/keys/0fa714e695c8ecd58cb467cdeb04d36f3b710f883496a90f23cae0315daf0b93., forbidden

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
create backend at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/ failed:
service.Buckets.Insert: googleapi: Error 403:
my-service-account@myproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com does not have storage.buckets.create access to bucket this-bucket-does-not-exist., forbidden

Service account with "Storage Admin":

Bucket exists and is accessible: Same

Bucket exists but is not accessible: Same. Previously this would fail
when Create tried to create the bucket. Now it fails when trying to
create the keys.

Bucket does not exist:

$ ./restic init -r gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/
enter password for new backend:
enter password again:
created restic backend c3c48b481d at gs:this-bucket-does-not-exist:/

Please note that knowledge of your password is required to access
the repository. Losing your password means that your data is
irrecoverably lost.

Fabian Wickborn dbda892542 Add option to exclude directories with a tagfile
The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.

There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.

Closes #317.
