This pushes the error handling up one step, but makes the function
more flexible. Running out of memory still triggers an internal error,
in the spirit of other xutils functions.
Modify command line argument handling to take a --accumulate flag.
Test for extra arguments beyond the input file.
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the
dump file.
Based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge:
id:"1317317857-29636-1-git-send-email-thomas@schwinge.name"
previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to
the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual
subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows
us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in
the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like
getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].
Previously, the functions notmuch_database_find_message() and
notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename() functions did not properly
report error condition to the library user.
For more information, read the thread on the notmuch mailing list
starting with my mail "id:871uv2unfd.fsf@gmail.com"
Make these functions accept a pointer to 'notmuch_message_t' as argument
and return notmuch_status_t which may be used to check for any error
condition.
restore: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message()
new: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename()
Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for
synchronization (notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync) we instead
implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
These functions are nicely documented here, (though the implementation
does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).
Since the name of the configuration parameter here is:
maildir.synchronize_flags
the convention is that the functions to get and set this parameter
should match it in name. Hence:
notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags
etc. (as opposed to notmuch_config_get_maildir_sync).
This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.
We rename 'has_more' to 'valid' so that it can function whether
iterating in a forward or reverse direction. We also rename
'advance' to 'move_to_next' to setup parallel naming with
the proposed functions 'move_to_first', 'move_to_last', and
'move_to_previous'.
It's a simple optimization to look at a message and check that the
existing tags are actually different than the tags we are setting
before we do anything.
For my mail store this takes a "notmuch restore" that does nothing
from about 10 minutes down to 1 minute, so there's a significant
speedup here.
We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we
always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of
preventing searches and like whilst updating the index.

notmuch restore used to only add tags; now that it clears existing
tags, it needs to operate on messages even if the new tag list is empty.

I fixed up the indentation here, (someday we might switch to 8-space
indents, but we haven't yet).
All of the following commands:
notmuch dump
notmuch reply
notmuch restore
notmuch search
notmuch show
notmuch tag
were calling notmuch_database_open with an argument of NULL. This was
a legitimate call until the recent addition of configuration, after
which it is expected that all commands will lookup the correct path in
the configuration file. So fix all these commands to do that.
Also, while touching all of these commands, we fix them to use the
talloc context that is passed in rather than creating a local talloc
context. We also switch from using goto for return values, to doing
direct returns as soon as an error is detected, (which can be leak
free thanks to talloc).
Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory,
(with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can
break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up.
The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and
maintain.
