Version: 1.6.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While borg has backports, I don't see any for borgmatic. But looking at
the release history for it (borgmatic), I can see some new features that
I think are worth having in stable (as a backport), e.g.:

- 1.5.15 with 425: Run arbitrary Borg commands with new "borgmatic borg"
  action (greatly simplifies interacting with repositories, IMO).
- 1.5.23 with #394: Compact repository segments and free space with new
  "borgmatic compact" action. Borg 1.2+ only. Also run "compact" by
  default when no actions are specified, as "prune" in Borg 1.2 no
  longer frees up space unless "compact" is run. (borg 1.2 is in
  backports, and without this, space will leak)
- 1.6.2 with #523: Reduce the default consistency check frequency and
  support configuring the frequency independently for each check

Now, I see upstream as very active and not sure what the policy for
backports should be (one-off? continuous update? etc.), but I think it
would be good to have some consistency between borg's backports policy
and borgmatic's. It might be that if borg 2.0 gets into sid and then via
backports into bullseye, borgmatic in bullseye will completely stop
working with it.

thanks!
