This parameter was originally introduced to hide large attachements
that happened to be text/plain. From a performance point of view,
there is no reason not to also hide large message bodies.
This leverages the machinery already there to insert buttons for
attachments.
A potential use-case is browsing the top layers of the tree to decide
which of the lower subtrees to read.
The original nmbug format (now called version 0) creates 1
subdirectory of 'tags/' per message. This causes problems for more
than (roughly) 100k messages.
Version 1 introduces 2 layers of hashed directories. This scheme was
chose to balance the number of subdirectories with the number of extra
directories (and git objects) created via hashing.
This should be upward compatible in the sense that old repositories
will continue to work with the updated notmuch-git.
Previously only man page aliases were being added as symlinks. The
addition to man_pages in conf.py automatically propagates to the list
of generated info pages.
Installation of the new pages is handled by existing recipes.
Commits or checkouts that modify a large fraction of the messages in
the database should be relatively rare (and in some automated process,
probably non-existent). For initial setup, where such operations are
expected, the user can pass --force.
This is probably more convenient than always passing a command line
argument.
Use notmuch-config for consistency with other notmuch CLI tools.
Now that there is something relevant in the config files, test the
--config option.
The previous defaults were not suitable for personal (i.e. not
bugtracking for notmuch development) use.
Provide two ways for the user to select nmbug compatible defaults;
command line argument and checking the name of the script.
This variable is important for people who want to change the default
behaviour when displaying multipart/alternative messages. Previously
it was undocumented. Add a defcustom to help users and copy some
documentation from the wiki. The usual machinery of re-using
docstrings is a bit tricky to use here because it mangles the example
lisp code, and the link to the info node should not be in e.g. the
html page.
Add a simple test to make sure the switch from defvar to defcustom did
not break something obvious.
Since Xapian does not preserve quotes when passing the subquery to a
field processor, we have to make a guess as to what the user
intended. Here the added assumption is that a string surrounded by
parens is not intended to be a phrase.
This is partially redudant given some existing cross references, but
it is useful to have all of the config keys listed in one place, to
help keep track of them if nothing else.
Originally (I think) these were in the order generated by notmuch
setup. As the number of options grows, and several are not in the
initial setup generated file, the original order becomes less useful
for users. This commit alphabetizes the keys to help users
search. There is only one content change, an added cross-reference
from user.other_email to user.primary_email.
Customizable names for buffers presenting search results, via two
custom variables (notmuch-search-buffer-name-format and
notmuch-saved-search-buffer-name-format), defaulting to values
currently used for plain searches and including too tree and
unthreaded search buffers.
Amended by db: spelling fix.
New notmuch-show-header-line customizable boolean to allow inhibiting
a header line in notmuch-show-mode buffers (for instance, because one
prefers to just include Subject in notmuch-message-headers).
The mail store directory is given by database.mail_root,
which can be different from database.path.
However, notmuch-insert documentation was still referencing the latter
as the provider of the maildir directory instead of the former.
In [1] Daniel observed that the gzipped man pages were only being
rebuild every second time when building with `make -j4'. This may be
caused by a race condition between sphinx-build rebuilding the roff
files and the recipe to gzip them. This commit sequentializes these
two steps by making the stamp file a prerequisite for (all of) the
gzip files.

Since release 0.32, libnotmuch provides searching for database and
configuration paths. This commit changes the python module notmuch2 to
use those facilities.
This fixes the bug reported in [1], along with a couple of the
deprecation warnings in the python bindings.
Database.default_path is deprecated, since it no longer faithfully
reflects what libnotmuch is doing, and it is also no longer used in
the bindings themselves.
This commit choose the default of config=CONFIG.EMPTY (equivalent to
passing "" to notmuch_database_open_with_config). This makes the
change upward compatible API-wise (at least as far as the test suite
verifies), but changing the default to CONFIG.SEARCH would probably be
more convenient for bindings users.

The <backtab> binding has always been there, but the docs were
apparently mistakenly changed to say <backspace> [1]
Revert to <backtab> in the documentation.
The commit also drops the C-<tab> binding, since it seems redundant
and it interferes with tab-bar-mode.
[1]: 703dec7754.
Previously the python-cffi bindings either failed to build, or built
for the wrong module by using the installed module.
The fix requires correction the module path, building the bindings
before docs, and helping python find the built libnotmuch.

It is confusing to use two different names (sexp vs sexpr) when
compared with the command line option --query=sexp and (furthermore)
singular vs plural when compared with the man page title.
This document contains meaningful markup in the terms, which makeinfo
complains about. Replace the use of definition lists with regular
paragraphs containing quote blocks. This is accomplished by splitting
the "term" from the definition with a blank line.
Sphinx-doc already formats the terms appropriately for a given
backend (bold in html and man). `makeinfo` complains noisily about
formatting inside a @item if we add our own explicit formatting.
This change may change the formatting in the info output. On the other
hand, the existing use of quotes for bold is not that great anyway.
In some places blank lines were removed to preserve the logical
structure of a definition list.
Macros implement lazy evaluation and lexical scope. The former is
needed to make certain natural constructs work sensibly (e.g. (tag
,param)) but the latter is mainly future-proofing in case the DSL is
is extended to allow local bindings.
For technical background, see chapters 6 and 17 of [1] (or some other
intermediate programming languages textbook).

This commit does not enable using saved s-expression queries, only
saving and retrieving them from the config file or the database. Use
in queries will be enabled in a following commit.
