     1  Bugfix: Complete intermediate index upload
     2  
     3  After a user posted a comprehensive report of what he observed, we were able to
     4  find a bug and correct it: During backup, restic uploads so-called
     5  "intermediate" index files. When the backup finishes during a transfer of such
     6  an intermediate index, the upload is cancelled, but the backup is finished
     7  without an error. This leads to an inconsistent state, where the snapshot
     8  references data that is contained in the repo, but is not referenced in any
     9  index.
    10  
    11  The situation can be resolved by building a new index with `rebuild-index`, but
    12  looks very confusing at first. Since all the data got uploaded to the repo
    13  successfully, there was no risk of data loss, just minor inconvenience for our
    14  users.
