Unclear usage of convert verb for root store

[adrianbroher]

Summary

From the existing documentation (docs and --help output) it is not clear how the root store can be converted to another storage or crypto backend.

Steps To Reproduce

Leaving out the --store parameter leads to:

gopass convert --storage gitfs
# ...
2022/03/18 21:35:02 Required flag "store" not set

Setting the --store parameter to an empty string leads to:

$ gopass convert --storage gitfs --store ''
# ...
2022/03/18 21:36:07 unknown backend -1: backend not found

Setting the --store parameter to the string root, / or default leads to the corresponding:

$ gopass convert --storage gitfs --store root
2022/03/18 21:37:40 no such mount point "root"

Expected behavior

When no explicit --store is given I would expect that the convert verb acts on the root store.

Environment

• OS: Fedora 34
• OS version: Linux blackbox 5.16.12-100.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 2 20:05:34 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• gopass Version: gopass 1.13.1 (2022-02-01 00:00:00) go1.16.13 linux amd64
• Installation method: Copr repo for gopass

Additional context

The root store was (probably) created with:

gopass init --storage fs

but I can't say for sure, as I've set this up years ago. Maybe it was even set up with pass.

The root store is located at ~/.password-store.

I agree. It should work as you described. I guess I've never tried to convert a root store and missed that in the implementation. I'll give it a try these days and try to fix it.

Looking at the code I noticed that the implementation might be incomplete wrt. recipients, need to check that as well.
