[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v3 0/3] fixes #6195: add support for moving namespaces

Adds support for moving namespaces within a datastore. 
- we don't create non-existing target namespaces
- we don't allow moving if a namespace with the same "name" already
  exists. So given:
   /a/b/c/x
   /1/2/3/4/x
  moving /1/2/3/4/x to /a/b/c/ is not allowed.
these are the only real restrictions. Of course moving itself into
sub-namespaces, exeeding depth limit or moving root are also not. But
those are not really artificial.

v3, thanks @Thomas:
 - add commit message outlining how moving is done
 - add some comments containing a simple example that show how paths are
   manipulated throughout the moving process
 - add short section to docs

v2, thanks @Shannon:
 - only allow moving if no tasks are running, some more info on the
   patch itself 

Hannes Laimer (3):

  fix #6195: ui: add button/window for moving a namespace
