     1  Enhancement: Limit index file size
     2  
     3  Before, restic would create a single new index file on `prune` or
     4  `rebuild-index`, this may lead to memory problems when this huge index is
     5  created and loaded again. We're now limiting the size of the index file, and
     6  split newly created index files into several smaller ones. This allows restic
     7  to be more memory-efficient.
