consider merging with others

restic has a similar project, called [fakedatafs](https://github.com/restic/fakedatafs), with similar goals. fakedatafs works as a FUSE filesystem to provide a dataset to benchmark backup software.

obnam has its own tool to generate backup data called... [genbackupdata](http://liw.fi/genbackupdata/). the design is similar to borg's, but like fakedatafs, it is also deterministic.

i was wondering if any thought has been given to reviewing or even merging with those projects instead of maintaining (now at least) 3 different projects in parallel?

if we want a standardized test suite for backup software, it seems to me we should aim at standardizing the corpus generation as well! :)

a similar issue was opened against the restic project in https://github.com/restic/fakedatafs/issues/3

既存のbackupdataプロジェクトをresticのfakedatafsおよびobnamのgenbackupdataと併せてレビューし、関連する議論については、まずリンクされたfakedatafs issueから確認してください。これらの目標と設計を組み合わせるか標準化できるかを判断してください。プロジェクトに文書化された決定とスコープが存在すれば、作業は完了です。
