Before this change the Features() method would return a different Fs
to that the Features() method was called on if the remote was
instantiated on a file.
The practical effect of this is that optional features, eg `rclone
about` wouldn't work properly when called on a file, and likely this
has been causing low level problems for users of these backends for
ages.
Ideally there would be a test for this, but it turns out that this is
really hard, so instead of that all the backends have been converted
to not copy the Fs and a big warning comment inserted for future
readers.
Fixes#2182
Sometimes it takes many more commit retries than expected to commit a
multipart file, so split this number into its own config variable and
default it to 100 which should always be enough.
This unifies the 3 methods of reading config
* command line
* environment variable
* config file
And allows them all to be configured in all places. This is done by
making the []fs.Option in the backend registration be the master
source of what the backend options are.
The backend changes are:
* Use the new configmap.Mapper parameter
* Use configstruct to parse it into an Options struct
* Add all config to []fs.Option including defaults and help
* Remove all uses of pflag
* Remove all uses of config.FileGet
Very large directories can have their sizes returned as floating point
numbers, eg `1.0034576985781e+14` from the box API.
Before this change this would fail to parse as an int64.
This change parses the size as a float64 instead which will be
perfectly accurate for sizes up to 2**56 which is about 9 PB.
It is unknown whether box themselves use a float64 as an intermediate
representation in the API or not - it seems likely.
Fixes#2261
The purpose of this is to make it easier to maintain and eventually to
allow the rclone backends to be re-used in other projects without
having to use the rclone configuration system.
The new code layout is documented in CONTRIBUTING.
