There is existing support for broken tests. But it is not convenient
to use. The primary issue is that we have to maintain a set of
test_expect_*_failure functions which are equivalent to the normal
test_expect_* counterparts except for what functions are called for
result reporting. The patch adds test_subtest_known_broken function
which marks a subset as broken, making the normal test_expect_*
functions behave as test_expect_*_failure. All test_expect_*_failure
functions are removed. Test_known_broken_failure_ is changed to
format details the same way as test_failure_ does.
Another benefit of this change is that the diff when a broken test is
fixed would be small and nice.
Documentation is updated accordingly.
Update test_emacs documentation in test/README according to the latest
changes in emacs tests. Move the note regarding setting variables
from test/emacs to test/README.
Change add_email_corpus, emacs_deliver_message and tests to use
$TEST_DIRECTORY instead of '..'.
This improves the behavior of the usage of --root=<dir>, as the
assumption of what '..' means will usually be incorrect.
Document -root option in README and update valgrind to work with
-root.
Various typo fixes in auxiliary text files included with the source,
(README, TODO, etc.).

Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way
systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before
running the tests.
This should be quite handy for doing automated testing of the
emacs-based functionality in notmuch. This function invokes emacs with
the necessary command-line arguments, (to run in batch mode with no
local initialization, to load the notmuch code from the source
directory, and to ensure an 80-column width).
While adding the documentation here for add_email_corpus I noticed
that the other email-adding functions in test-lib.sh were not yet
documented here, so add all of that documentation.
In order for --valgrind to be useful, we drop noisy additional output of
all of the commands being executed in verbose mode. This makes --verbose
alone quite useless, so we don't document it any more.
Also, add a zlib valgrind suppression that was showing up frequently in the
test suite.
This file was obviously describing the git test suite previously, and
would have been very hard to understand in the context of the notmuch
test suite. HOpefully it's easier to follow now.
This removes Git specific things from the test-lib.sh and adds helper
functions for notmuch taken from Carl's notmuch-test script. README is
also slightly modified to reflect the current state.

Git uses a simple and yet powerful test framework, written in shell.
The framework is easy to use for both users and developers so I think
it would help if it is used in notmuch as well.
This is a copy of Git's test framework from commit
b6b0afdc30e066788592ca07c9a6c6936c68cc11 in git repository.
