cli: change argument parsing convention for subcommands

2011-10-22T22:42:54Z

previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].

notmuch count: Remove special handling of "*".

From both the implementation and from the documentation. This is handled generically in the library for all search-based commands, so count doesn't need special treatment.

Have notmuch count default to showing the total.

If no parameters are given to notmuch-count, or just '' or '*' are given, return the total number of messages in the database. update notmuch count help

Add 'notmuch count' command to show the count of matching messages

2009-11-23T05:33:54Z

Getting the count of matching threads or messages is a fairly expensive operation. Xapian provides a very efficient mechanism that returns an approximate value, so use that for this new command. This returns the number of matching messages, not threads, as that is cheap to compute. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard
