Users may have set core.abbrev=n, where n != 7 in their git config
file(s) which would give them different than expected version strings
when building notmuch from git. This fixes the commit hash part of
version string to 7 hexadecimal values.
Previously, this was a verbatim copy of the --format=json text.
Change it to instead reference the JSON text and actually describe how
the S-expression format works.
The recent changes for saved searches introduced a bug when notmuch
was loaded after the saved search was defined. This was caused by a
utility function not being defined when the defcustom was loaded.
Fix this by moving some code around: the defcustom is moved into
notmuch-hello (which is a more natural place anyway), and the utility
functions are moved before the defcustom in notmuch-hello. We are
rather constrained as the defcustom for saved searches is the first
variable in the notmuch-hello customize window; to avoid moving this
customize the defcustom needs to be the first defcustom in
notmuch-hello, and the utility functions come before that.
This patch also renames one of the utility functions from
notmuch--saved-searches-to-plist to
notmuch-hello--saved-searches-to-plist (as it is purely local to
notmuch-hello) and corrects a couple of typo/spelling mistakes pointed
out by Tomi.
Avoid:
$ make HAVE_SPHINX=0 HAVE_RST2MAN=1 build-man
python ./doc/prerst2man.py ./doc doc/_build/man
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./doc/prerst2man.py", line 65, in <module>
os.system('set -x; rst2man {0} {1}/{2}.{3}'
NameError: name 'os' is not defined
make: *** [doc/_build/man/man1/notmuch.1] Error 1
by using system directly. We don't need the 'os.' namespacing,
because the function was imported with:
from os import makedirs, system
Before this patch, the open was unnecessarily early and relied on the
process cleanup to close. Neither one of these was a real problem,
but PEP 343's context managers (which landed in Python 2.5) make
proper cleanup very easy.

Previously, even if debug-on-error was non-nil, the debugger would not
trap on part renderer errors. This made debugging part renderer bugs
frustrating, so let the debugger trap these errors.
The roff build rule builds all of the roff files in a single command.
Previously, this was expressed as a multi-target rule, but since this
is equivalent to specifying a copy of the rule for each target, make
-jN could start up to N parallel instances of this command. Fix this
by bottlenecking this rule through a single stamp file.
This also removes the unused man.stamp from CLEAN.
The changes landed with c200167 (nmbug: Add 'clone' and replace
FETCH_HEAD with @{upstream}, 2014-03-09).
The preferred markup language for NEWS seems to be Markdown, which is
parsed by devel/news2wiki.pl into Markdown chunks for rendering by
ikiwiki [1].

- The old test was quite impossible to debug; the new one shows the difference
between the two directories, if any.
- "repository" doesn't make sense for out of tree builds. Or tarball
builds, for that matter.
If a git repository is non-bare, and core.worktree is not set, git
tries to deduce the worktree. This deduction is not always helpful, e.g.
% git --git-dir=$HOME/.nmbug clean -f
would likely delete most of the files in the current directory
If the user has unsorted or alphabetically sorted saved-searches these
should continue to work. If they have some custom lisp sort function
then it will need updating to work with the new saved-sort
format. Document this, and how the updating should be done.
Also roll in fixes for the markdown in the first part of the NEWS
suggested by Tomi: change `just work' to *just work* and removed
periods from the end of subtitle lines.
My recent changes to the saved search format broke the alphabetically
sorted saved sort option. This makes it work again.
Also update docs for saved-search sort defcustom to match the new
format.
Finally, since the saved-search list is no longer an alist change the
names in the sort function to avoid confusion.
It was decided that auto-signing is potentially too troublesome for the
apparently common case of users who enable crypto processing for the
purpose of checking signature validity but who are not in a position to
sign out-going messages. Users can still manually invoke signing as needed.
Encrypting replies to encrypted messages is more of a security issue
so we leave it in place.
This is a simple approach to improving security when replying to
signed or encrypted messages. If the message being replied to was
signed, add mml tag to sign the reply. If the message being replied to
was encrypted, add mml tag to sign and encrypt the reply.
This may need configuration; I for one might want to encrypt replies
to encrypted messages, but not always sign replies to signed messages.
This still includes a slight bug: if any mml tags are added, they are
included in the region containing the quoted parts. Killing the region
will kill the mml tags too.
All we do here is calculate the backup filename, and call the existing
dump routine.
Also take the opportunity to add a message about being safe to
interrupt.
The idea is to provide a more or less drop in replacement for readline
to read from zlib/gzip streams. Take the opportunity to replace
malloc with talloc.
The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.
The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.
We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.
The important point is that the changed search variable is not forward
compatible (it *is* backwards compatible): that is previous version
of notmuch-emacs will be unusable with a new style
notmuch-saved-search variable.
This adds a sort-order option to saved-searches, stores it in the
saved-search buttons (widgets), and uses the stored value when the
button is pressed.
Storing the sort-order in the widget was suggested by Jani in
id:4c3876274126985683e888641b29cf18142a5eb8.1391771337.git.jani@nikula.org.
Make the defcustom for notmuch-saved-searches use the new plist
format. It should still work with oldstyle saved-searches but will
write the newstyle form.
