[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 0/2] Introduce bitflags for overwrite

[Christian Ebner]

When restoring a pxar archive to a target containing preexisting data,
the `overwrite` flag allows to force recreation of file payloads.
However, the current implementation does not allow for symlinks or
hardlinks to be recreated.

These patches introduce the logic to overwrite symlinks and hardlinks for
archive entries, if a directory entry with matching name is already
present on the filesystem. An existing entry is unlinked and the
symlink/hardlink created.

In order to allow a more fine grained control over the overwrite
behaviour, the current overwrite flag is refactored to set all bits of a
newly introduced bitflag. Further, optional parameters for individual bits
controlling the overwriting of files, symlinks and hardlinks are
created.
