We will need this for improved folder search tests, but having some folders should exercise our code paths better anyway. Modify the relevant test accordingly to make it pass. This reorganization triggers a bug in the test suite, namely that it expects the output of --output=files to be in a certain order. So we add the fix for that into the same commit. This mainly involves sorting, although the case --duplicate=$n requires more subtlety.

Sup certainly started a lot of people thinking...

Easier than that, notmuch (and sup too), provide a 'dump' command which
|
|
just lists all of the message IDs and their associated tags. Makes
|
|
saving tags easy and doesn't involve rewriting messages. I do this once
|
|
a day just before my computer is backed up to an external drive.
|
|
|
|
If the index is destroyed, you can reindex the messages and then reapply
|
|
all of the tags with 'notmuch restore'.
