option to add -fossils -resurrect to check?

[Ossssip]

Hi, @jeffaco, I have just learned about your tool and it works great! Thanks a lot. I have a bunch of suggestions/questions which I will split in separate issues.

The first one is passing additional parameters to check. In my environment I have an sftp storage and multitude of clients with not very good connection, and that results in interrupted uploads, so usually I run prune -exhaustive, which in turn some times results in chunks fossilized during a revision upload. And that is not an issue, because such chunks are normally restored with check -fossils -resurrect. In your tool, however, there are no additional options for check command yet, and running it generates a missing chunk error message. Could you please add an option to pass -fossils -resurrect to duplicacy while checking?

I think the best way to handle this is to have a -quote feature. A -quote feature would allow you to add any "odd-ball" parameters that you wanted, and keeps me out of the business of supporting one-off parameters for an odd request here and there.

For sure, the standard parameters will be supported as they are today. But -quote would allow you to add something that was not typical. So, in your example, you might do something like:

-quote "-fossels -resurrect"

Those would then be added on the command line. I believe that would handle this issue, as well as prune with -exhaustive.

I'll look at adding this. Or if you'd like, you're welcome to submit a PR for such a capability.

Implemented "quote" option as discussed in commit f525569. Tested with known flags passed via quote (I used quote: "-threads 8" for testing). This testing was possible due to reworking of optional flags and how they are supported in duplicacy-util via commit dc46049.

Closing this issue. You can build from source to pick this up, or you can wait for the next release of duplicacy-util.
