We demonstrate the current notmuch restore parser being confused by
message-id's and tags containing non alpha numeric characters
(particularly space and parentheses are problematic because they are
not escaped by notmuch dump).
We save the files as hex escaped on disk so that terminal emulators
will not get confused if the test fails (as we mostly expect it to do).
It seems we have never tested the case that restore --accumulate
actually adds tags. I noticed this when I started optimizing and no
tests failed.
The bracketing with "restore --input=dump.expected" are to make sure
we start in a known state, and we leave the database in a known state
for the next test.
The syntax --output=filename is a smaller change than deleting the
output argument completely, and conceivably useful e.g. when running
notmuch under a debugger.
Modify command line argument handling to take a --accumulate flag.
Test for extra arguments beyond the input file.
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the
dump file.

Flesh out what ``notmuch restore --accumulate'' is supposed to do.
Its tests are currently XFAILed; the functionality will be added in
future patch(es).

Thanks to Thomas Schwinge for noticing yet another place where quoting
matters. Since the shell translates \. to ., the regex passed to grep
is too generous without the quotes.
The use of [.] is the suggestion of Tomi Ollila.
Several new tests are added, and existing use of test_begin_subtest is
replaced by test_expect_success to catch failing commands in cases where
we execute more than one command.

We print an intentionally non-specific message on stderr, since it
isn't clear if there will be some global output file argument to
replace.
We update the test suite atomically, since it relies on having the
same text in two files.
The main motivation here is allow the fast dumping of tag data for
messages having certain tags. In practice it seems too slow to pipe
dump to grep.
All dump-restore tests should be working now, so we update test/dump-restore
accordingly
The idea here is that we want to deprecate the use of arguments to
dump and restore to specify paths, since in particular we want to use
the non-option arguments to dump to form a query.
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.
When the NOTMUCH variable was originally invented it was used as an
explicit path to the notmuch binary being tested. Today, the test
suite sets the PATH variable instead, so the NOTMUCH variable always
has a value of simply "notmuch".
We simplifying that by using the constant value rather than the
continual variable reference.
The numbers were meaningless, and they made it hard to find a file of interest.
Instead, we get the ordering we want by adding an explicit list of
tests to run to the notmuch-test script.
