e002fe8a7a Clarify documentation of notmuch_database_add_message.
For the case of adding a file that already exist, (with the same
filename). In this case, nothing will happen to the database, but
that wasn't clear before.

357b48d34b TODO: Note that '=' should sometimes count from the end of the buffer.
When trying to restore the current position, if the "current" thread
no longer appears in the buffer, then '=' moves to the current line
instead. When near the end of the buffer, the "current" line should
be counted as the number of lines from the end.

This was suggested by Srinivasa and is intended to make it easier to

9ff063ded7 TODO: Add some new items about improving the test suite.
I just tried (and failed) to write a test for the recent magic
inference of phrase searches. That's a feature that makes me *really*
uncomfortable to not have an automated test. But I believe the
proposed modularization of the test suite should reduce some quoting
nightmares, so will hopefully make this easier.

bf09c7d11e test: Fix phrase-search tests.

70b7e659f6 test: Add some negative results for the phrase searches.
These results have all the same terms as the target phrase, but
not in the expected order. They are designed to ensure that we
actually test phrase searches.

And as it turns out, we're not currently quoting the search terms
properly, so the phrase-search tests now fail with this commit.

d30049d2b9 notmuch-show: add tags to json output
The previous json patches forgot to add the notmuch tags to the json
output. This is inconsistent to the text output so here they are. We
just output a 'tags' field that sends notmuch tags as a json array.

bb61755afe emacs: Fix search refresh when on the last line of a search buffer.
We currently allow the cursor to be positioned on the "End of search
results" line after the last thread in a search buffer. When
refreshing on this line, there's no thread ID to be used as the
target.

Previously, a refresh from this case would result in a nil thread
target, but we were also using nil to indicate that the target thread
had been found. This caused the position to be lost during refresh,
(the cursor would move from the last line in the buffer to the first).

We fix this by using a magic string of "found" rather than nil to
clearly indicate whether the target thread has actually been found.

70ef8de798 emacs: Adjust search refresh to use a target line not a target position.
It doesn't make sense to move the cursor to some random point in the
middle of a line. We always want the refresh to leave the cursor at
the beginning of some line instead.

86232e62ab Makefile: Fix Makefiles to depend on all child Makefile fragments.
We were previously maintaining two lists of the child Makefile
fragments---one for the includes and another for the dependencies. So,
of course, they drifted and the dependency list wasn't up to date.

We fix this by adding a single subdirs variable, and then using GNU
Makefile substitution to generate both the include and the dependency
lists.

Some side effect of this change caused the '=' assignment of the dir
variable to not work anymore. I'm not sure why that is, but using ':='
makes sense here and fixes the problem.

985263cf51 Makefile: Simplify the conditional message of the all target.
We wamt a simple "make" to call the 'all' target and then print a
message when done, but we don't want "make install" which depends on
that same 'all' target to print the message.

We previously did this with a separate 'all-without-message' target,
which was inelegant because it caused all users of the target to
carefully depend on 'all-without-message' rather than 'all'.

Instead, we now use a single 'all' target but with a Makefile
conditional that examines the MAKECMDGOALS variable to determine
whether to print the message.

07876ac135 emacs: Fix refresh of search results to leave cursor on current thread.
This has been broken since the addition of support for streaming
search results to the emacs interface. With the old apparoach it was
easy to simply wait for all search results to land in the buffer and
then search for the desired line. With streaming results, we have to
save the target off to the side and allow the process filter and
sentinel functions to correctly respond when the target thread
appears.

2303d9366e notmuch show: Don't show empty headers.
This is a fairly old regression. There has always been code to avoid
printing empty headers (such as Cc or Bcc with no values), but it has
been broken since notmuch_message_get_header was changed to return
an empty string rather than a NULL pointer for these fields.

f99b46c607 emacs: Don't open unread messages by default.
When searching for an individual message, (by message id, say), it's
really annoying to have the entire thread open just because the thread
was archived without ever having been read.

This means that the "unread" tag is a lot less special, and it really
just exists as a mild cue for the user.

3474263823 emacs: Avoid removing the unread tag due to internal navigation
Sometimes the internals of the implementation navigate among messages,
(as opposed to the user explicitly requesting the next message to be
shown). In these cases we don't want to remove the unread tag from the
message navigated to.

This fixes a bug where invocation of notmuch-show-next-unread-message
would clear the unread tag from all messages in a thread.

4b9d2e3a4d Simplify "unread" tag handling in emacs UI.
This patch is intended to greatly simplify the handling of the
"unread" tag in the emacs UI.  This patch adds a new function
'notmuch-show-mark-read', that removes the "unread" tag in
notmuch-show-mode.  This function is then executed as a
notmuch-show-hook, and by notmuch-show-next-message.  All of the
functions that explicitly marked messages as unread are removed or
renamed.

The idea here is that the user should never have to worry about
manipulating the "unread" tag.  The tag should persist until the user
actually views a message, at which point it should be automatically
removed.  This patch simplifies the notmuch.el quite a bit, removing a
lot of somewhat redundant functions, and reducing clutter in the name
and key-mapping space.

5171831813 notmuch search: Use "thread" rather than "id" when formatting with JSON
The text output uses thread:<foo>, (which is a syntax directly supported
by "notmuch show"), so make the json output be "thread", "<foo>" rather
than "id", "<foo>". This should help avoid confusion of thread IDs with
message IDs, (which do use the "id" prefix in searches).

6ce2bf68f5 Add an "--format=(json|text)" command-line option to both notmuch-search and notmuch-show.
In the case of notmuch-show, "--format=json" also implies
"--entire-thread" as the thread structure is implicit in the emitted
document tree.

As a coincidence to the implementation, multipart message ID numbers are
now incremented with each part printed. This changes the previous
semantics, which were unclear and not necessary related to the actual
ordering of the message parts.

3910000fe8 notmuch.el: Emphasize the 'i' of 'ID' in the documentation for 'c i'.

4e76865c0d Change the stash keybinding from 'z' to 'c'. And use 'i' for message ID.
In spite of being implemented with the word "stash" in the function
names, the documentation (and hence help strings) for each function
already use the word "Copy" to describe the action. So 'c' is a much
more natural key-binding, (particularly since 'z' didn't map to any
real word anyway).

We also use 'i' for the message ID copying of the submap. This is
intended to align mnemonically with the "id:" prefix already used
for message IDs.
