Austin Clements ef7b77ea3b test: Fix transient error in 'new' test
This fixes a non-deterministic failure in "Ignore files and
directories specified in new.ignore (multiple occurrences)".  The test
assumed that all directories would be scanned, even though nothing
updated the mtime of ${MAIL_DIR}.  It *usually* worked nevertheless
because the tests run quickly enough that the directory mtime is
usually the same as the current time, so notmuch new does not update
the mtime in the database (because more changes could occur in the
same second).  However, when it occasionally did update the mtime in
the database, the notmuch new call in this test would (correctly) skip
"pass 2" of scanning ${MAIL_DIR}, causing it to skip the following
expected lines:

  (D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/.git
  (D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/.ignored_hidden_file
  (D) add_files_recursive, pass 2: explicitly ignoring ${MAIL_DIR}/ignored_file

This patch fixes this problem by touching ${MAIL_DIR} to ensure it
gets scanned and by rearranging the test to ensure the directories are
touched immediately before the main notmuch new call in the test.

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging.

Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
search syntax.

Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public
License version 3 (or later).

Building notmuch
----------------
See the INSTALL file for notes on compiling and installing notmuch.

Running notmuch
---------------
After installing notmuch, start by running "notmuch setup" which will
interactively prompt for configuration information such as your name,
email address, and the directory which contains your mail archive to
be indexed. You can change any answers later by running "notmuch
setup" again or by editing the .notmuch-config file in your home
directory.

With notmuch configured you should next run "notmuch new" which will
index all of your existing mail. This can take a long time, (several
hours) if you have a lot of email, (hundreds of thousands of
files). When new mail is delivered to your mail archive in the future,
you will want to run "notmuch new" again. These runs will be much
faster as they will only index new messages.

Finally, you can prove to yourself that things are working by running
some command-line searches such as "notmuch search
from:someone@example.com" or "notmuch search subject:topic". See
"notmuch help search-terms" for more details on the available search
syntax.

The command-line search output is not expected to be particularly
friendly for day-to-day usage. Instead, it is expected that you will
use an email interface that builds on the notmuch command-line tool or
the libnotmuch library.

Notmuch installs a full-featured email interface for use within
emacs. To use this, first add the following line to your .emacs file:

	(require 'notmuch)

Then, either run "emacs -f notmuch" or execute the command "M-x
notmuch" from within a running emacs.

If you're interested in a non-emacs-based interface to notmuch, then
please join the notmuch community. Various other interfaces are
already in progress, (an interface within vim, a curses interface,
graphical interfaces based on evolution, and various web-based
interfaces). The authors of these interfaces would love further
testing or contribution. See contact information below.
