Since 6311cfaf (init: do not set unnecessary core.worktree,
2016-09-25, 2.11.0 [1]), Git has no longer set core.worktree when
--separate-git-dir is used. This broke clone with:
$ nmbug clone http://nmbug.notmuchmail.org/git/nmbug-tags.git
Cloning into '/tmp/nmbug-clone.33gg442e'...
Checking connectivity: 16674, done.
['git', '--git-dir', '/home/wking/.nmbug', 'config', '--unset', 'core.worktree'] exited with 5
$ echo $?
1
The initial discussion that lead to the Git change is in [2], and
there is some more discussion around this specific change in [3].
There is some useful background on working trees in this 2009 message
[4]. There is also a git-worktree(1) since df0b6cfb (worktree: new
place for "git prune --worktrees", 2015-06-29, 2.5.0 [5]) which grew
the ability to add new worktrees in 799767cc (Merge branch
'es/worktree-add', 2015-07-13, 2.5.0 [6]). Folks relying on
core.worktree in the --separate-git-dir case fall into the "former
case" in [4], and as Junio pointed out in that message, Git
operations like 'add' don't really work there.
In nmbug we don't want core.worktree, because our effective working
tree is the notmuch database. By accepting failed core.worktree
unsets, clone will work with Gits older and younger than 2.11.0.

Fixing a bug from 7f2cb3be (nmbug: Translate to Python, 2014-10-03).
The bug had no direct impact though, because none of the wait=True
callers were setting expect.
Also add expected codes to the debug messages, to help log readers
understand why nonzero exits are occasionally accepted.
Renamed from out-of-tree-build-check.sh to be consistent with
other files in this directory.
Fixed quoting in "$srcdir" usage for additional robustness, other
quoting changes for consistency.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
Replace numeric errors with human readable flags. Not all sig_error
keys will necessarily be generated with a given version of gmime.
Drop status "none" as it's currrently unused and I don't know what
it's for.
Instead of just having the first filename for the message, list all
duplicate filenames of the message as a list in the formatted
outputs. This bumps the format version to 3.
This adds a file under devel listing all the keybindings sorted by key
in the main three modes (search, show and tree).
To reduce clutter it only lists the single key "unmodified"
keybindings: I think all our uses of prefixes and modifiers are
natural variants of the unmodified binding (eg M-n compared to n in
show mode)
This should make easier to see what keybindings are available when
adding new features.
Git has supported this since b68ea12e (diff.c: respect diff.renames
config option, 2006-07-07, v1.4.2). All of our information is in the
paths (the files are empty), so we don't want rename detection. By
using --no-renames, we get entries like:

Setting locale environment variables (LC_* and LANG) to e.g.
en_US.utf8 works fine on Linux, and that is what locale -a
returns (in Linux). However this does not work e.g. in some *BSD
systems.
In these systems, en_US.UTF-8 works. This also works in Linux
systems (which may look like a surprising thing on the first sight(*)).
But that *UTF-8 format seems to be widely used in the Linux system:
Grep it through the files in /etc/, for example.
Easy way to test: Run the following command lines. First should
complain about setting locale failed, and second should not.
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-1 perl -e ''
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 perl -e ''
(*) and who knows what the "standard" is...
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Lines starting with # have always (for a long time, anyway) been ignored
by notmuch-restore, but have not been generated by notmuch-dump
previously. In order to make nmbug robust against such output, ignore
comment lines.
To describe the script and config file format, so folks don't have to
dig through NEWS or the script's source to get that information.
The Makefile and conf.py are excerpted from the main doc/ directory
with minor simplifications and adjustments. The devel/nmbug/ scripts
are largely independent of notmuch, and separating the docs here
allows packagers to easily build the docs and install the scripts in a
separate package, without complicating notmuch's core build/install
process.
status-config.json wasn't obviously associated with the old
nmubg-status, now notmuch-report. The new name is
${CONFIGURED_SCRIPT}.json, so the association should be clear.
This script generates reports based on notmuch queries, and doesn't
really have anything to do with nmbug, except for sharing the NMBGIT
environment variable.
For example:
"query": ["tag:a", "tag:b or tag:c"]
is now converted to:
( tag:a ) and ( tag:b or tag:c )
instead of the old:
tag:a and tag:b or tag:c
This helps us avoid confusion due to Xapian's higher-precedence AND
[1], where the old query would be interpreted as:
( tag:a and tag:b ) or tag:c
[1]: http://xapian.org/docs/queryparser.html
No-one seemed opposed to C99 style loop variable declarations. The
requirement to declare variables at the top of blocks is maybe a little
more contested, but I believe it reflects the status quo.
devel/try-emacs-mua provides an easy way to try and experiment
with the notmuch emacs client distributed in emacs subdirectory of
the notmuch source tree.
try-emacs-mua starts a new emacs process and if initial checks pass
*scratch* buffer is filled with information of how to begin.
Normal emacs command line arguments can be used, like -q or -Q.
These arguments are appended verbatim to the starting emacs process.
If the emacs version in use is smaller than 24.4, special care is taken
to ensure that notmuch*.elc files older than corresponding .el files
are not loaded. Since emacs 24.4, setting `load-prefer-newer' variable
takes care of this.
These were broken by b70386a4 (Move the generated date from the top of
the page to the footer, 2014-05-31), which moved 'Generated ...' to
the footer with the opening tag, but didn't replace the blurb opening
tag or add a closing tag after 'Generated ...'.
We've been leading off with h2s since 3e5fb88f (contrib/nmbug: add
nmbug-status script, 2012-07-07), but the semantically-correct headers
are:
<h1>{title}</h1>
...
<h2>Views</h2>
...
<h3>View 1</h3>
...
<h3>View 2</h3>
...
We can always add additional CSS if the default h1 formatting is too
intense.
We already have a 'filename' variable with the name, so stay DRY and
use that variable here.
Also fix a missing-whitespace error from bed8b674 (nmbug-status:
Clarify errors for illegible configs, 2014-05-10), wrapping on the
sentence to match similar error-generation earlier in this function.
Check that copyright year will be current year in generated documentation.
Checking is done my matching that copyright line contains current year
as a substring which is good enough "approximation" in this context.
Let each view have a "sort" key, typically used with values
"oldest-first" or "newest-first" (although all values in Query.SORT
are accepted), and sort the results accordingly. Oldest first remains
the default.
The dynamic approach of mapping sort values is as suggested by
W. Trevor King <wking@tremily.us>.
- Make lib/notmuch.h the canonical location for the library versioning
information.
- Since the release-check should never fail now, remove it to reduce
complexity.
- Make the version numbers in notmuch.h consistent with the (now
deleted) ones in lib/Makefile.local
The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides
information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to
succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations
(e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*).
At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added;
In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the
file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last
command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
Before release check that there are no uncommitted changes and
that there are no files in working directory that possibly should
have been added to the repository.
Amended by db: remove --ignored, since that seems like too much
trouble.
When loading configs from Git, the bare branch name (without a
refs/heads/ prefix or similar) matches all branches of that name
(including remote-tracking branches):
.nmbug $ git show-ref config
48f3bbf1d1492e5f3d2f01de6ea79a30d3840f20 refs/heads/config
48f3bbf1d1492e5f3d2f01de6ea79a30d3840f20 refs/remotes/origin/config
4b6dbd9ffd152e7476f5101eff26747f34497cee refs/remotes/wking/config
Instead of relying on the ordering of the matching references, use
--heads to ensure we only match local branches.

which is much more accessible. I've also added user-friendly messages
for a number of other config-parsing errors.
The default is actually exact if no checkatleast parameter is
specified. This change makes that explicit, mainly for documentation,
but also to be safe in the unlikely event of a change of default.
[ commit message rewritten by db based on id:87lho0nlkk.fsf@nikula.org
]
As discussed in
id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
execfile is unavailable in python3.
The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
importing a module from the wrong place.
The new manual pages converted from rst using sphinx or rst2man
has somewhat different syntax. man-to-mdwn.pl is now adjusted
to produce even better output from this syntax. The changes also
include using utf-8 locale (e.g. for tables and generated hypens)
and and quite a few bugs fixes.
This tool still produces better results than just using the
html pages generated using sphinx / rst2html. For example those
tools don't create inter-page hyperlinks -- and the preformatted
pages written by man-to-mdwn.pl just works well with manual page
content.
This allows us to capture stdout and stderr separately, and do other
explicit subprocess manipulation without resorting to external
packages. It should be compatible with Python 2.7 and later
(including the 3.x series).
Most of the user-facing interface is the same, but there are a few
changes, where reproducing the original interface was too difficult or
I saw a change to make the underlying Git UI accessible:
* 'nmbug help' has been split between the general 'nmbug --help' and
the command-specific 'nmbug COMMAND --help'.
* Commands are no longer split into "most common", "other useful", and
"less common" sets. If we need something like this, I'd prefer
workflow examples highlighting common commands in the module
docstring (available with 'nmbug --help').
* 'nmbug commit' now only uses a single argument for the optional
commit-message text. I wanted to expose more of the underlying 'git
commit' UI, since I personally like to write my commit messages in
an editor with the notes added by 'git commit -v' to jog my memory.
Unfortunately, we're using 'git commit-tree' instead of 'git
commit', and commit-tree is too low-level for editor-launching. I'd
be interested in rewriting commit() to use 'git commit', but that
seemed like it was outside the scope of this rewrite. So I'm not
supporting all of Git's commit syntax in this patch, but I can at
least match 'git commit -m MESSAGE' in requiring command-line commit
messages to be a single argument.
* The default repository for 'nmbug push' and 'nmbug fetch' is now the
current branch's upstream (branch.<name>.remote) instead of
'origin'. When we have to, we extract this remote by hand, but
where possible we just call the Git command without a repository
argument, and leave it to Git to figure out the default.
* 'nmbug push' accepts multiple refspecs if you want to explicitly
specify what to push. Otherwise, the refspec(s) pushed depend on
push.default. The Perl version hardcoded 'master' as the pushed
refspec.
* 'nmbug pull' defaults to the current branch's upstream
(branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge) instead of hardcoding
'origin' and 'master'. It also supports multiple refspecs if for
some crazy reason you need an octopus merge (but mostly to avoid
breaking consistency with 'git pull').
* 'nmbug log' now execs 'git log', as there's no need to keep the
Python process around once we've launched Git there.
* 'nmbug status' now catches stderr, and doesn't print errors like:
No upstream configured for branch 'master'
The Perl implementation had just learned to avoid crashing on that
case, but wasn't yet catching the dying subprocess's stderr.
* 'nmbug archive' now accepts positional arguments for the tree-ish
and additional 'git archive' options. For example, you can run:
$ nmbug archive HEAD -- --format tar.gz
I wish I could have preserved the argument order from 'git archive'
(with the tree-ish at the end), but I'm not sure how to make
argparse accept arbitrary possitional arguments (some of which take
arguments). Flipping the order to put the tree-ish first seemed
easiest.
* 'nmbug merge' and 'pull' no longer checkout HEAD before running
their command, because blindly clobbering the index seems overly
risky.
* In order to avoid creating a dirty index, 'nmbug commit' now uses
the default index (instead of nmbug.index) for composing the commit.
That way the index matches the committed tree. To avoid leaving a
broken index after a failed commit, I've wrapped the whole thing in
a try/except block that resets the index to match the pre-commit
treeish on errors. That means that 'nmbug commit' will ignore
anything you've cached in the index via direct Git calls, and you'll
either end up with an index matching your notmuch tags and the new
HEAD (after a successful commit) or an index matching the original
HEAD (after a failed commit).
If we don't have an upstream, there is nothing to merge, so nothing is
unmerged. This avoids errors like:
$ nmbug status
error: No upstream configured for branch 'master'
error: No upstream configured for branch 'master'
fatal: ambiguous argument '@{upstream}': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
'git rev-parse @{upstream}' exited with nonzero value
You might not have an upstream if you're only using nmbug locally to
version-control your tags.
Sometimes we want to catch Git errors and handle them, instead of
dying with an error message. This lower-level version of git() allows
us to get the error status when we want it.
Our repository [1] has a post-update hook that rebuilds the status
page after each push. Since that may happen several times a day, we
might as well show the build time (as well as the date) in the footer.
The trailing 'Z' is the ISO 8601 designator for UTC. Now that we're
showing times, it's nice to be explicit about the timezone we're
using.
The rename from date -> datetime gives us backward-compatibility for
folks that *do* only want the date. We keep the old date formatting
to support those folks.

Rather than splitting this context into header-only and footer-only
groups, just dump it all in a shared dict. This will make it easier
to eventually split the header/footer templates out of this script
(e.g. if we want to load them from the config file).
It's useful reference information, but anyone who wants it will look
for and find it. We don't need this front-and-center. Follow the
pattern set by our header template with a triple-quoted string.
The gray <hr> styling is less agressive. IE uses 'color' for drawing
the rule, while Gecko and Opera use the border or 'background-color'
[1].

Prefer a docstring to a header comment so we can use it as the
ArgumentParser description (formatted with 'nmbug-status --help').
Script readers still have it near the top of the file. Since it's a
docstring, use PEP 257's summary-line-and-body format [1].
