-n, --concurrency=10 number of concurrent goroutines

-e, --error-retry=3 number of times to retry in case of network error

-b, --error-retry-base-interval=500ms initial retry delay, increases linearly with each subsequent attempt

-h, --help[=false] help for make

--print-stats[=false] print chunking statistics to stderr when done

-s, --store="" target store

-t, --trust-insecure[=false] trust invalid certificates
