4d367ac0b4 doc: copy elisp.py from flycheck, make available
This corresponds to flycheck commit
1702d2db3d8ba9bcb9b2bf810e791e907fcc3adc, which is apparently the last
time this file was modified (2018).

Embedding seems defensible since the file is evidently not changing
that much, and we need to change some labels to make it fit with the
not-just-emacs nature of notmuch docs.

bf64c48855 doc: add some documentation about duplicate files.
This is mainly motivated by the new emacs-UI features to select
duplicates, but hopefully it will help demystify things for users of
the CLI as well.

429924b28f doc/notmuch: merge two sections on external commands.
When adding the description of the propagation of NOTMUCH_CONFIG, I
missed that there was already a section on external commands, with a
different title.

f4ebb60375 doc/emacs: add docstring for notmuch-unthreaded-result-format.

2b10a56c78 doc/emacs: add docstring and example for n-search-result-format
When the ability to use functions was added, this example was confined
to a commit message, which is not user discoverable.

24decfc1dd CLI/reply: support --duplicate argument
We want the reply used to match that shown e.g. in the emacs
interface. As a first step provide that functionality on the command
line.

Schema does not need updating as the duplicate key was already
present (with a constant value of 1).

cef5eaaef6 CLI/show: initial support for --duplicate for (raw output only)
Add command line argument --duplicate, analogous with that already
supported for notmuch-search.

Use of a seperate function for _get_filename is mainly a form of
documentation at this point.

md5sum is of course a weak hash, but it is good enough for
this (non-adversarial) test suite use.

349987668a doc/emacs: add notmuch-show-empty-saved-searches to manual
Answering a user question, I had to dig for this variable, but I think
it is a reasonably common customization wish, particularly for users
with custom count-functions.

e55b04b028 doc: reorganize sphinx toctree
This mainly affects the html output (although users generating epub or
pdf would also notice a change). The goal is twofold: make the TOC a
bit friendler and easier to navigate by introducing some hierarchy,
and allow links for nmbug and notmuch-setup.

7925481997 doc: improve config item labels in info output
Commit 306b7028d added the nmconfig role / directive. Unfortunately
the default of using the directive name in texinfo output is pretty
ugly, so attempt to make it more human readable by passing `objname`
to add_object_type invocation.

bde8ea5d1d emacs/show: introduce notmuch-show-height-limit
Analogous to notmuch-show-depth-limit, it requires a bit more

e580ce0058 emacs/show: obey notmuch-show-max-text-part-size for part 0
This parameter was originally introduced to hide large attachements
that happened to be text/plain. From a performance point of view,
there is no reason not to also hide large message bodies.

1d254bd35e emacs/show: optionally insert bodies of "deep messages" lazily
This leverages the machinery already there to insert buttons for
attachments.

A potential use-case is browsing the top layers of the tree to decide
which of the lower subtrees to read.

bf5eacbe7e CLI/git: add --format-version argument to init subcommand

6219e7380a CL/git: add format version 1
The original nmbug format (now called version 0) creates 1
subdirectory of 'tags/' per message. This causes problems for more
than (roughly) 100k messages.

Version 1 introduces 2 layers of hashed directories. This scheme was
chose to balance the number of subdirectories with the number of extra
directories (and git objects) created via hashing.

This should be upward compatible in the sense that old repositories
will continue to work with the updated notmuch-git.

3cb936b7c4 doc: replace symlink with copies for nmbug, notmuch-setup

addition to man_pages in conf.py automatically propagates to the list

Installation of the new pages is handled by existing recipes.

7d1e5a5348 CLI/git: add safety checks for checkout and commit
Commits or checkouts that modify a large fraction of the messages in
the database should be relatively rare (and in some automated process,
probably non-existent). For initial setup, where such operations are
expected, the user can pass --force.

99e85823c8 CLI/git: support configuration for repo location / prefix
This is probably more convenient than always passing a command line
argument.

Use notmuch-config for consistency with other notmuch CLI tools.

Now that there is something relevant in the config files, test the
--config option.

8ed68c1bbe CLI/git: change defaults for repo and prefix
The previous defaults were not suitable for personal (i.e. not
bugtracking for notmuch development) use.

Provide two ways for the user to select nmbug compatible defaults;
command line argument and checking the name of the script.

fd46fc1977 emacs: document/defcustom notmuch-multipart/alternative-discouraged
This variable is important for people who want to change the default
behaviour when displaying multipart/alternative messages.  Previously
it was undocumented.  Add a defcustom to help users and copy some
documentation from the wiki. The usual machinery of re-using
docstrings is a bit tricky to use here because it mangles the example
lisp code, and the link to the info node should not be in e.g. the
html page.

Add a simple test to make sure the switch from defvar to defcustom did
not break something obvious.

8ed6a172b3 lib: do not phrase parse prefixed bracketed subexpressions
Since Xapian does not preserve quotes when passing the subquery to a

intended. Here the added assumption is that a string surrounded by
parens is not intended to be a phrase.

69289c5d62 doc: alphabetize options in notmuch-config(1)
Originally (I think) these were in the order generated by notmuch
setup. As the number of options grows, and several are not in the
initial setup generated file, the original order becomes less useful
for users. This commit alphabetizes the keys to help users
search. There is only one content change, an added cross-reference
from user.other_email to user.primary_email.
