    # Mounting the repository shows all archives.
    # Archives are loaded lazily, expect some delay when navigating to an archive
    # for the first time.
    $ borg mount /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint
    $ ls /tmp/mymountpoint

    # Mounting a specific archive is possible as well.

    # The "versions view" merges all archives in the repository
    # and provides a versioned view on files.

    $ borg umount /tmp/mymountpoint

    # Archive filters are supported.
    # These are especially handy for the "versions view",
    # which does not support lazy processing of archives.
    $ borg mount -o versions --glob-archives '*-my-home' --last 10 /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint

    # Exclusion options are supported.
    # These can speed up mounting and lower memory needs significantly.

    $ borg mount --exclude '...' /path/to/repo /tmp/mymountpoint

    # When using BORG_REPO env var, use :: as positional argument:
    export BORG_REPO=/path/to/repo
    # Mount the whole repo:
    borg mount :: /tmp/mymountpoint
    # Mount some specific archive:
    borg mount ::root-2016-02-15 /tmp/mymountpoint
