+Enhancement: `find --pack` fallback to index if data file is missing
+
+When investigating a repository with missing data files, it might be useful
+to determine affected snapshots before running `rebuild-index`.
+`restic find --pack pack-id` previously returned no data as it required
+accessing the data file. Now, if the necessary data is still available in the
+repository index, it gets retrieved from there.
+
+The command now also supports looking up multiple pack files in a single `find`
+run.
