test_description='thread breakage during reindexing'

# notmuch uses ghost documents to track messages we have seen references
# to but have never seen.  Regardless of the order of delivery, message
# deletion, and reindexing, the list of ghost messages for a given
# stored corpus should not vary, so that threads can be reassmebled
# cleanly.
#
# In practice, we accept a small amount of variation (and therefore
# traffic pattern metadata leakage to be stored in the index) for the
# sake of efficiency.
#
# This test also embeds some subtests to ensure that indexing actually
# works properly and attempted fixes to threading issues do not break
# the expected contents of the index.
