d51b784214 Start devel directory for developer tools and documentation.
We had a lot of back and forth about the name of this directory, but
nothing very conclusive. In the end, I just chose "devel" just to move
on.

I recently discussed fixing this with Austin, but want to record it
here just in case we don't remember to fix it right away.

e00c04946a TODO: Add note for bug with message with References but no In-Reply-To
We recently noticed on the mailing list a case where a message wasn't
properly connected to its parent. We should fix that of course.

3e4a9d60a9 build: Add support for non-source-directory builds.
Such as:

     mkdir build
     cd build
     ../configure
     make

This is implemented by having the configure script set a srcdir
variable in Makefile.config, and then sprinkling $(srcdir) into
various make rules. We also use vpath directives to convince GNU make
to find the source files from the original source directory.

0b4474f4fa Makefile: Fix notmuch binary to directly link against Xapian and GMime.
Without this, trying to link with the gold linker would fail, (which meant
that notmuch could not be compiled out of the box on recent Fedora, nor
even on Debian when the binutils-gold package is installed).

f7ac6d5c8d TODO: Add idea for fixing "notmuch count" to always be exact.
I had previously thought Xapian only offered an estimate for the
number of results that might match a search. But Olly let me know
that we can easily ask for Xapian to provide the exact count.

We can't fit all the authors and the various changed subjects in 80
columns, but it would be great is isearch could still find these, (and
automatically expand the hidden content as necessary).

75cfd0d906 TODO: Add two tasks that both have to do with auditing the library API
It was noted today in IRC that libnotmuch is not yet careful about
wrapping all Xapian calls with try/catch blocks to print nicer error
messages. It seems it would be natural to audit that at the same time
as doing the symbol-hiding work.

6847960a58 TODO: Add some ideas for improving the emacs interface.
One of these is a bad bug I noticed this morning, (archiving messages I had
never read when going through a search of "tag:inbox and tag:to-me" and
hitting space bar).

The other ideas came from recent conversations with Dirk and Eric.

485678413c TODO: Add some ideas about better search syntax
Recent coding around the "*" feature suggests some improvements that
we could make, (some of which might push us into writing a custom
query parser rather than using the one that exists in Xapian).

helping us track that).

no longer appears in the buffer, then '=' moves to the current line
instead. When near the end of the buffer, the "current" line should
be counted as the number of lines from the end.

9ff063ded7 TODO: Add some new items about improving the test suite.
I just tried (and failed) to write a test for the recent magic
inference of phrase searches. That's a feature that makes me *really*
uncomfortable to not have an automated test. But I believe the
proposed modularization of the test suite should reduce some quoting
nightmares, so will hopefully make this easier.

a7f03d9f7c TODO: Remove many items that have been completed recently.
There's been a lot of good work done, and we've been doing a generally
poor job of noticing when some of the tasks we've completed were
already on our TODO list.

So here's a careful scan, removing all items I could find that have
already been done.

3ca7a4fbcc TODO: Rename the proposed --for option to --output
We've been using --output in IRC and on the mailing list for a while,

command-line completion since it's a prefix of the proposed --format).

4aff2ca55b emacs: Fix '+' and '-' in case of thread no longer matching current search.
Similar to the way thread-viewing was broken after a thread was
archived, (and recently fixed), tag manipulation has also been broken
when the thread no longer matches the current search.

This also means that the behavior of '+' and '-' are now different
than that of '*'. The '+' and '-' bindings now return to the previous
behavior old affecting all messages in the thread, (and not simply
those matching the search).

I actually prefer this behavior, since otherwise a '-' operation on a
thread might not actually remove the tag from the thread, (since it
could operate on a subset of the thread and not hit all messages with
the given tag).

So I'd now like to fix '*' to be consistent with '+' and '-', for
which we add an item to TODO.

6f1173c0e4 TODO: Add idea for an --exclude-threads options to "notmuch search".
This would provide support for "muted" threads, as well as allowing for negative
filtering based on messages not matched by the original search, (but present in
threads that do have at least one matched message).

656709b5ed TODO: Add some tasks, delete some tasks.
A new item from IRC discussion, (speeding up "notmuch restore"), as
well as a bug I just hit myself, (content from citations is not being
indexed).

While here, notce that several items have recently been completed ('?'
now displays documentation, not function names; we have a search
binding from notmush-show-mode; and "notmuch new" responds to SIGINT
by flushing). Finally, the item regarding optimizing chunky searching
is irrelevant since we dropped chunky searching in favor of the much
better streamed searching.

8b445212e4 xutil: Implement xstrndup without relying on strndup.
Since we need to do this for portability, (some systems don't have a
strndup function), we might as well do it unconditionally. There's
almost no disadvantage to doing so, and this has the advantages of not
requiring a configure-time check nor having two different
implementations, one of which would often be less tested.
