This patch fixes the "Insert message into folder with trailing /"
test. The problem was insufficient path canonization.
From database's point of view, "Sent" and "Sent/" are different
folders. If user runs (note the last '/'):
notmuch insert --folder=maildir/Sent/ < test.msg
notmuch will create an extra XDIRECTORY record for the folder
'Sent/'. This means that database will have _TWO_ records for _ONE_
physical folder: 'Sent' and 'Sent/'. However, the 'notmuch new'
command will update only records related to the first one (the correct
one).
Now, if user moved the email file (e.g. from 'Sent/new' to
'Sent/cur'), 'notmuch new' will add a record about the new file, but
will not delete the old record.

Stripping trailing character is not that uncommon
operation. Particularly, the next patch has to perform it as
well. Lets move it to the separate function to avoid code duplication.
Also the new function has a little improvement: if the character to
strip is repeated several times in the end of a string, function
strips them all.

Since we're accumulating the index when we add a new file to the
message, the semantics have slightly changed. This tries to align the
documentation with the actual functionality.
make-process is a new function introduced in Emacs 25, which provides
greater control over process creation. Crucially, it allows
separately redirecting stderr directly to a buffer, which allows us to
avoid needing to use the shell to redirect to a temporary file in
order to correctly distinguish stdout and stderr.
* notmuch-lib.el: Use make-process when it is available; fall back to
the previous method when not.
Load subprocess error output to a string in the callers, and propagate
the error messages as a string parameter instead of a path to file
names.
Required to be able to avoid using temporary files for subprocess
error output.
* notmuch-lib.el: Update notmuch-check-async-exit-status,
notmuch-check-exit-status: accept an err parameter instead of
err-file; shift the responsibility of loading error messages from
files up the call stack.
By default, Sphinx tries to pre-process text through SmartyPants,
which attempts to convert ASCII quotes and dashes to Unicode
characters. Unfortunately, this mangles technical text such as command
lines. For instance, this excerpt from notmuch-tag.rst:
**notmuch** **tag** **--batch** [--input=<*filename*>]
got turned into:
notmuch tag –batch [–input=<filename>]
That's an en-dash and an em-dash respectively.
Not only are these characters visually confusing and could easily be
mistaken for a single dash, copying and pasting such command lines
into a terminal is doomed to result in incomprehensible error
messages.
* doc/conf.py: Disable SmartyPants.
The queries "" and "*" are special cased in the notmuch library to
match all messages, but only if they're the entire query. They can't
be combined with other queries, such as "* AND foo", in which case
they "leak" down to the Xapian query parser.
Notmuch show and tree buffers inadvertently combine the thread query
with said special queries, causing incorrect collapsing of
messages. Handle the special queries specially. We already do a
similar thing in notmuch-search-filter.
From database's point of view, "Drafts" and "Drafts/" are different
folders

Amended: add test_subtest_known_broken (db)
In the commit 51cd69feb1 the part of the
test "test runs if prerequisite is satisfied" has been
removed. However, there was a remainder of that test - variable
'haveit'.
Kill it, to not to confuse people.

A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
971cdc72cd renamed corpus.mail to
corpora.mail. Although 971cdc72cd
updated some of the remaining corpus.mail references, two remained,
causing the test suite to leave behind an unignored corpora.mail
directory.
Recently a user reported a crash in notmuch new, but because of
missing error reporting, all they could say was "A Xapian exception
occured". This commit adds the extra information available about
the error message in the exception.
We do it for notmuch and notmuch-emacs because the history is a bit
unclear. It seems to be safe to call when that conffile is not owned
by a given package
This new function asks the database to reindex a given message.
The parameter `indexopts` is currently ignored, but is intended to
provide an extensible API to support e.g. changing the encryption or
filtering status (e.g. whether and how certain non-plaintext parts are
indexed).
This operation is relatively inexpensive, as the needed metadata is
already computed by our lazy metadata fetching. The goal is to support
better UI for messages with multipile files.
The corresponding xapian document just gets more terms added to it,
but this doesn't seem to break anything. Values on the other hand get
overwritten, which is a bit annoying, but arguably it is not worse to
take the values (from, subject, date) from the last file indexed
rather than the first.
There are many other problems that could be tested, but these ones we
have some hope of fixing because it doesn't require UI changes, just
indexing changes.
This is really pure C string parsing, and doesn't need to be mixed in
with the Xapian/C++ layer. Although not strictly necessary, it also
makes it a bit more natural to call _parse_message_id from multiple
compilation units.
The switch is easier to understand than the side effects in the if
test. It also potentially allows us more flexibility in breaking up
this function into smaller pieces, since passing private_status around
is icky.
'database.cc' is becoming a monster, and it's hard to follow what the
various static functions are used for. It turns out that about 1/3 of
this file notmuch_database_add_message and helper functions not used
by any other function. This commit isolates this code into it's own
file.
Some side effects of this refactoring:
- find_doc_ids becomes the non-static (but still private)
_notmuch_database_find_doc_ids
- a few instances of 'string' have 'std::' prepended, avoiding the
need for 'using namespace std;' in the new file.
