Nothing really breaking but annoying, but I suppose you wouldn't even consider it a bug then.
For example, the file changed warning. That one ended up breaking my backup cron. I wasn't being notified (my fault there) and the rsync wasn't running. Caught it months later when I tried to run a test restore.
I'm fine with it returning a warning but people were asking for an option to suppress it and you said in 2022 it would be fixed in v2.
That's why it's disappointing. Appreciate the work though! Borg has definitely been a life safer and has recovered a failed production server already.
