No, I simplified a bit: it stores `somehash(fullpath)`
@nadalle what i meant in top post: - the RAM requirement - for good speed, rather lz4 - compressing each mapping value separately, not the whole mapping. could be that...

Maybe not worth the effort.
AFAIK, all operations of borg 1.x are safe to Ctrl-C. borg 1.x works transaction-based, so if something breaks in the middle, it rolls the repo back to the previous commit....
Yes. Either that or there was some other / previous issue updating the hints file.
From stackexchange: ``` sudo mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'" ``` So it seems not just to be some xattr key, but there is also a value. What does `com.apple.backupd` mean? Would...

Yeah, it would read (some) xattrs twice then.
Merged #8895 to fix this.
