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.

|
|
defaults.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -p <prefix>, --tag-prefix <prefix>
|
|
|
|
Operate only on tags with prefix *prefix*. See :ref:`prefix_val` for
|
|
defaults.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -v, --version
|
|
|

show notmuch-git's version number and exit
|
|
|
|
.. option:: -l <level>, --log-level <level>

|
|
`debug`. Defaults to `warning`.
|
|
|
|
SUBCOMMANDS
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
For help on a particular subcommand, run: 'notmuch-git ... <command> --help'.
|
|
|
|
.. program:: notmuch-git
|
|
|
|
.. option:: archive [tree-ish] [arg ...]
|
|
|
|
Dump a tar archive of a committed tag set using 'git archive'. See
|
|
:any:`format` for details of the archive contents.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: tree-ish
|
|
|
|
The tree or commit to produce an archive for. Defaults to 'HEAD'.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: arg
|
|
|
|
If present, any optional arguments are passed through to
|
|
:manpage:`git-archive(1)`. Arguments to `git-archive` are reordered
|
|
so that *tree-ish* comes last.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: checkout
|
|
|
|
Update the notmuch database from Git.
|
|
|
|
This is mainly useful to discard your changes in notmuch relative
|
|
to Git.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: clone <repository>
|
|
|
|
Create a local `notmuch git` repository from a remote source.
|
|
|
|
This wraps 'git clone', adding some options to avoid creating a
|
|
working tree while preserving remote-tracking branches and
|
|
upstreams.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: repository
|
|
|
|
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the URLS
|
|
section of :manpage:`git-clone(1)` for more information on
|
|
specifying repositories.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: commit [message]
|
|
|
|
Commit prefix-matching tags from the notmuch database to Git.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: message
|
|
|
|
Optional text for the commit message.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: fetch [remote]
|
|
|
|
Fetch changes from the remote repository.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: remote
|
|
|
|
Override the default configured in `branch.<name>.remote` to fetch
|
|
from a particular remote repository (e.g. `origin`).
|
|
|
|
.. option:: help
|
|
|
|
Show brief help for an `notmuch git` command.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: init
|
|
|
|
Create an empty `notmuch git` repository.
|
|
|
|
This wraps 'git init' with a few extra steps to support subsequent
|
|
status and commit commands.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: log [arg ...]
|
|
|
|
A wrapper for 'git log'.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: arg
|
|
|
|
Additional arguments are passed through to 'git log'.
|
|
|
|
After running `notmuch git fetch`, you can inspect the changes with
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
$ notmuch git log HEAD..@{upstream}
|
|
|
|
.. option:: merge [reference]
|
|
|
|
Merge changes from 'reference' into HEAD and load the result into notmuch.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: reference
|
|
|
|
Reference, usually other branch heads, to merge into our
|
|
branch. Defaults to `@{upstream}`.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: pull [repository] [refspec ...]
|
|
|
|
Pull (merge) remote repository changes to notmuch.
|
|
|
|
**pull** is equivalent to **fetch** followed by **merge**. We use the
|
|
Git-configured repository for your current branch
|
|
(`branch.<name>.repository`, likely `origin`, and `branch.<name>.merge`,
|
|
likely `master` or `main`).
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: repository
|
|
|
|
The "remote" repository that is the source of the pull. This parameter
|
|
can be either a URL (see the section GIT URLS in :manpage:`git-pull(1)`) or the
|
|
name of a remote (see the section REMOTES in :manpage:`git-pull(1)`).
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: refspec
|
|
|
|
Refspec (usually a branch name) to fetch and merge. See the
|
|
*refspec* entry in the OPTIONS section of :manpage:`git-pull(1`) for
|
|
other possibilities.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: push [repository] [refspec]
|
|
|
|
Push the local `notmuch git` Git state to a remote repository.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: repository
|
|
|
|
The "remote" repository that is the destination of the push. This
|
|
parameter can be either a URL (see the section GIT URLS in
|
|
:manpage:`git-push(1)`) or the name of a remote (see the section
|
|
REMOTES in :manpage:`git-push(1)`).
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: refspec
|
|
|
|
Refspec (usually a branch name) to push. See the *refspec* entry in the OPTIONS section of
|
|
:manpage:`git-push(1)` for other possibilities.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: status
|
|
|
|
Show pending updates in notmuch or git repo.
|
|
|
|
Prints lines of the form
|
|
|
|
| ng Message-Id tag
|
|
|
|
where n is a single character representing notmuch database status
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: A
|
|
|
|
Tag is present in notmuch database, but not committed to nmbug
|
|
(equivalently, tag has been deleted in nmbug repo, e.g. by a
|
|
pull, but not restored to notmuch database).
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: D
|
|
|
|
Tag is present in nmbug repo, but not restored to notmuch
|
|
database (equivalently, tag has been deleted in notmuch).
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: U
|
|
|
|
Message is unknown (missing from local notmuch database).
|
|
|
|
The second character *g* (if present) represents a difference between
|
|
local and upstream branches. Typically `notmuch git fetch` needs to be
|
|
run to update this.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: a
|
|
|
|
Tag is present in upstream, but not in the local Git branch.
|
|
|
|
.. describe:: d
|
|
|
|
Tag is present in local Git branch, but not upstream.
|
|
|
|
.. _format:
|
|
|
|
REPOSITORY CONTENTS
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The tags are stored in the git repo (and exported) as a set of empty
|
|
files. For a message with Message-Id *id*, for each tag *tag*, there
|
|
is an empty file with path
|
|
|
|
tags/ `encode` (*id*) / `encode` (*tag*)
|
|
|
|
The encoding preserves alphanumerics, and the characters `+-_@=.,:`.
|
|
All other octets are replaced with `%` followed by a two digit hex
|
|
number.
