3a175ddffb NEWS: initial set of NEWS for 0.37.
There are one or two more changes to apply (and potentially document)
before release, but this covers most of my commits.

429924b28f doc/notmuch: merge two sections on external commands.
When adding the description of the propagation of NOTMUCH_CONFIG, I
missed that there was already a section on external commands, with a
different title.

54190d091c notmuch.c: add missing trailing newlines in two error messages
Removed duplicate error check (and the message) in 3rd case where
the same error message (w/o trailing newline) was present.

In case of test/T040-setup.sh, command substitution deletes
trailing newlines, so related test there cannot be changed
(and therefore could not notice this user experience flaw).

f4ebb60375 doc/emacs: add docstring for notmuch-unthreaded-result-format.
The main change is actually updating cross references.

9d013801bb emacs: update defcustom for notmuch-unthreaded-result-format
This is essentially a copy of that for notmuch-tree-result-format,
aside from the default value.

25ebb9e7d3 emacs: update defcustom for notmuch-search-result-format.
It seems redundant to have the previous example, since the default
value is always show by describe variable.

Enforce more restrictions on the keys in the alist, since arbitrary
strings don't work as field names.

Document that functions can be used in lieu of field names.

2b10a56c78 doc/emacs: add docstring and example for n-search-result-format
When the ability to use functions was added, this example was confined
to a commit message, which is not user discoverable.

1ef7c75111 emacs/reply: reply to correct duplicate
Essentially we just need to arrange to pass the right --duplicate
argument to notmuch reply.

As a side-effect, correct the previously unused value of EXPECTED in
T453-emacs-reply.sh.

24decfc1dd CLI/reply: support --duplicate argument
We want the reply used to match that shown e.g. in the emacs
interface. As a first step provide that functionality on the command
line.

Schema does not need updating as the duplicate key was already
present (with a constant value of 1).

5ea5a5557d emacs/show: display count of duplicates in headerline
There is no real cost here, except screen real estate. Some people
might prefer hiding the duplicate count, but we leave that for a
future commit.

b3d466bf39 emacs/show: provide notmuch-show-choose-duplicate
This new command allows the user to interactively choose a different
duplicate (file) to display for a given message in
notmuch-show-mode. Since both tree and unthreaded view use
notmuch-show-mode, this provides the same facility there.

4612f3eb3d CLI/show: support --duplicate for structured output
This introduces a new mandatory key for message structures, namely
"duplicate". Per convention in devel/schemata this does _not_ increase
the format version. This means that clients are responsible for
checking that it exists, and not crashing if it does not.

The main functional change is teaching mime_node_open to understand a
'duplicate' argument.

Support for --duplicate in notmuch-reply would make sense, but we
defer it to a later commit.

cef5eaaef6 CLI/show: initial support for --duplicate for (raw output only)
Add command line argument --duplicate, analogous with that already
supported for notmuch-search.

Use of a seperate function for _get_filename is mainly a form of
documentation at this point.

md5sum is of course a weak hash, but it is good enough for
this (non-adversarial) test suite use.

f599b8873f CLI/git: opportunistically use bindings to check for known messages

bd4347499f CLI/git: current cache contents of index
Rather than shelling out once per message to get the list of files
corresponding to tags, it is much faster (although potentially a bit
memory intensive) to read them all at once.

349987668a doc/emacs: add notmuch-show-empty-saved-searches to manual
Answering a user question, I had to dig for this variable, but I think
it is a reasonably common customization wish, particularly for users
with custom count-functions.

c527358794 doc: do not generate python module index

e55b04b028 doc: reorganize sphinx toctree
This mainly affects the html output (although users generating epub or
pdf would also notice a change). The goal is twofold: make the TOC a
bit friendler and easier to navigate by introducing some hierarchy,
and allow links for nmbug and notmuch-setup.

7925481997 doc: improve config item labels in info output
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.

bde8ea5d1d emacs/show: introduce notmuch-show-height-limit
Analogous to notmuch-show-depth-limit, it requires a bit more

e580ce0058 emacs/show: obey notmuch-show-max-text-part-size for part 0
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.

1d254bd35e emacs/show: optionally insert bodies of "deep messages" lazily
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.

ded2eb1a50 perf-test/emacs: test showing longish threads
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.

6219e7380a CL/git: add format version 1
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.

15b940d26a test: known broken test for top level .notmuch in split configs
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.

0a3bb81d4f test: define and use notmuch_sexp_*_sanitize functions
These are based on the equivalent functions for json. Like those,
these are pretty simple-minded, and don't really understand the
syntax.

5f6645bd2a test: use notmuch_json_show_sanitize more places
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.

3cb936b7c4 doc: replace symlink with copies for nmbug, notmuch-setup
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.

5500868bd9 emacs: mark notmuch-query.el as obsolete
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.

6a9ae99099 lib/sexp: add parameter expansion for regex and wildcard
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
