Restore a .pond archive.
Idempotent union merge into the current destination: re-running the same archive inserts nothing new, and a populated destination unions rather than clobbers.
Usage: pond import [OPTIONS] <ARCHIVE>
Arguments:
<ARCHIVE>
Path to the .pond archive to restore
Options:
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
Global options:
--storage-path <URL>
Storage destination: a local path or remote URL.
Accepts a bare path, `~/path`, `file://`, `s3://bucket/prefix`, `s3+https://host/bucket/prefix`, `gs://`, or `az://`. Default: `[storage].path` from config, then the platform data dir (`~/.local/share/pond`).
[env: POND_STORAGE_PATH]
--config <PATH>
Config file to read (default: `~/.config/pond/config.toml`)
[env: POND_CONFIG]
-v, --verbose...
