Commit 306b7028d added the nmconfig role / directive. Unfortunately
the default of using the directive name in texinfo output is pretty
ugly, so attempt to make it more human readable by passing `objname`
to add_object_type invocation.
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.
This particular thread takes about 100 times longer to display in
emacs than on the command line.
The parameter notmuch-show-max-text-part-size exists, but is currently
ineffective for this task because it only hides attachments, not
part 0.
In future commits, the parameter notmuch-show-{depth,height}-limit
will trigger a similar kind of hiding for bodies as
n-s-m-text-part-size already does for attachments.
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.
In split configurations there is no special significance to a top
level directory called .notmuch in the mail root. Users should
therefore be able to have mail stored underneath it.
This makes the tests more robust against changing output formats, by
allowing us to centralize fixes in the sanitization function. It is
not appropriate for all cases, in particular it is unneeded when using
test_json_nodes, and unhelpful when testing filenames.
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.
The only functionality actually used by notmuch is the base function
notmuch-query-get-threads; the other functions in this file have
nothing to do with that (single) use. Move that function into
notmuch-lib.el and rename to reflect use. Deprecate the other
functions in notmuch-query.el.
Fix the bug reported at [1].
The parameter expansion for regex and wildcard modifiers has to be
done a bit differently, because their arguments are not s-expressions
defining complete Xapian queries.

The date range parsing machinery already knows how to do something
appropriate with an empty string, but the lastmod parsing blindly
tries to parse each atom as a number.
In order for a database to actually be writeable, it must be the case that it
is open, not just the correct type of Xapian object. By explicitely
checking, we are able to provide better error reporting, in particular
for the previously broken test in T566-lib-message.
Make the behaviour when passed NULL consistent with
notmuch_filenames_valid. The library already passes the result of
notmuch_message_get_tags without checking for NULL, so it should be
handled.
This should return false, but currently segfaults.
Start a new file for tags library API related tests. This is maybe
overkill, but new C boilerplate which doesn't corrupt the database is
needed anyway.
When testing error handling, it is sometimes difficult to cover a
particular error path deterministically. Introduce a test function to
allow calling lower level functions directly.
This addresses a bug report / feature request of Uwe Kleine-König. The
assumption is that we always load a config file in the CLI (i.e. we
never pass "" as the config file argument to
notmuch_database_open_with_config).

Setting this according to --config was requested by Uwe
Kleine-König. There are some other ways that the configuration file
might be found in current notmuch, so check those as well.
As a bonus, fix a bug in the hook tests that left NOTMUCH_CONFIG set
even though a config file was provided via NOTMUCH_PROFILE.

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.
If the private index file matches a previously known revision of the
database, we can update the index incrementally using the recorded
lastmod counter. This is typically much faster than a full update,
although it could be slower in the case of large changes to the
database.
The "git-read-tree HEAD" is also a bottleneck, but unfortunately
sometimes is needed. Cache the index checksum and hash to reduce the
number of times the operation is run. The overall design is a
simplified version of the PrivateIndex class.
Perf will show which binaries are using the CPU cycles, and standard
python profilers will show which python functions, but neither is
great at finding which call to an external binary is taking time, or
locating I/O hotspots.
Unlike the (current) infix query parser provided by Xapian, the
notmuch specific sexp query parser supports prefixed wildcard queries,
so use those. In addition to being somewhat faster, this avoids
needing to escape all of the user's tags to pass via the shell.
