nmbug pull only merges upstream master, but nmbug push tries to push
all local branches. The asymmetry results in conflicts whenever there
have been changes in the config branch in the origin:
$ nmbug push
To nmbug@nmbug.tethera.net:nmbug-tags
! [rejected] config -> config (non-fast-forward)
error: failed to push some refs to 'nmbug@nmbug.tethera.net:nmbug-tags'
hint: Updates were rejected because a pushed branch tip is behind its remote
hint: counterpart. If you did not intend to push that branch, you may want to
hint: specify branches to push or set the 'push.default' configuration
hint: variable to 'current' or 'upstream' to push only the current branch.
'git push origin' exited with nonzero value
To fix this, only push the master branch on nmbug push. Any config
changes need to be done manually via git anyway.
Newer patch email containing In-Reply-To: to an email sent some time ago
(i.e. to a "thread") was not visible in that "thread" in patch view when
another patch "thread" was submitted in between. This change collects
all messages in every (notmuch-created) thread together before printing
all these threads out in a patch view.
Thanks to Ethan Glasser-Camp for initial review and suggestions with
code examples.
In latest configuration quite a few long views were added to the
Notmuch Patches page. To ease navigating to the views a 'Views'
section was added to the beginning of page containing hyperlink
to every view.
When the From: field in patch email does not contain 'realname'
field, the patch listing does not show anything as patch sender.
In this case use the part before '@' in mail address as the sender
identification in patch listing.
The initial nmbug-status was pretty consistent in it's whitespacing
but a few lines had some leftover slips. Those are now "corrected".
Also, most of the code used ' as quoting char. As in Python one can
use ' and " interchangeably some code used " instead of '. However
the usage of those were inconsistent. Now all quotes that python
parses are ':s (only quoted content uses ":s).
No functional changes.
In reformatting the line 111 accidentally indented to one indentation
level too much (happens easily when interactively indenting python
code using emacs). The line now has 4 spacess less indentation, thus
restoring it to the block level it belongs.
This is (almost) the same script as has been used for
http://nmbug.tethera.net/status for a while now. The only change is
that the configuration is not hardcoded anymore. By default the config
is fetched from a special branch in the nmbug repo that contains only
config info. The idea is that push access to this branch can be
restricted a bit more than the tags, since it will change the
appearence of the web pages.
If any of the forked process exits with nonzero value, terminate
current operation -- nonzero exit value indicates failure and
then there is no point continuing.
The main idea is consider the notmuch database as analogous to the
work-tree. A bare git repo is maintained in the users home directory,
with a tree of the form tags/$message-id/$tag
Like notmuch and git, we have a set of subcommnds, mainly modelled on
git.
Implementation wise, the heavy lifting is in the following functions.
commit xapian -> git
checkout git -> xapian
merge fetched git + git -> xapian
status find differences between xapian, git, and remote git.
The central implementation trick, from an idea I think due to
tomprince on IRC is manipulate the git index directly from the xapian
tag information. The merge routine is still done using a temporary
checkout as I wasn't able to get it working with the index only.
There are also some convenience wrappers around git commands, like "fetch"
that essential just set GIT_DIR in the environment.
In order to encode tags (viewed as octet sequences) into filenames,
we whitelist a smallish set of characters and %hex escape anything outside.
The prefix is omitted in git, which lets one save and restore to
different prefixes (although this is only lightly tested).
Thanks to Tomi Ollila for a huge amount of feedback and patches while
putting this together.
