Previously the fact that some configuration options were only stored
in the database (and thus editing the config file had no effect) was a
source of user confusion. This was fixed with the series ending at
d9af0af164.
On the other hand, the underlying partition of config options into
those stored by default in the database and those stored in the config
file remained. This is also confusing, since now some invocations of
"notmuch config set" modify the config file, and others silently
modify the database instead.
With this commit, it is up to the user to decide which configuration
to modify. A new "--database" option is provided for notmuch config to
enable modifying the configuration information in the database;
otherwise the default is to update an external config file.
Xapian 1.4 is over 3 years old now (1.4.0 released 2016-06-24),
and 1.2 has been deprecated in Notmuch version 0.27 (2018-06-13).
Xapian 1.4 supports compaction, field processors and retry locking;
conditionals checking compaction and field processors were removed
but user may want to disable retry locking at configure time so it
is kept.
'qsx' reported a bug on #notmuch with notmuch-dump and large stored
queries. This test will pass (on my machine) if the value of `repeat'
is made smaller.
Reported-By: Thomas Schneider <qsx@chaotikum.eu>
This test passes with older versions of Xapian as well, because
neither query returns any results.
This should resolve the travis build failure at

Named queries don't work without Xapian FieldProcessor. Rather than
silently skipping them, we should explictly mark them as broken when
building against an older version of Xapian.
Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before
test_expect_code. (Similar change for test_expect_success has already
been done.)
This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line
for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible
to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.

Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.
A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.
