notmuch-restore: check for extra arguments.

2011-10-23T13:27:57Z

We consider it an error to pass more than one file to restore, since extra ones are ignored.

notmuch-restore: implement --accumulate option

2011-10-23T13:27:57Z

Modify command line argument handling to take a --accumulate flag. Test for extra arguments beyond the input file. The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the dump file. Based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge: id:"1317317857-29636-1-git-send-email-thomas@schwinge.name"

test/dump-restore: add tests for restore --accumulate

2011-10-23T13:27:57Z

Flesh out what ``notmuch restore --accumulate'' is supposed to do. Its tests are currently XFAILed; the functionality will be added in future patch(es). Based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge: id:"1317317811-29540-1-git-send-email-thomas@schwinge.name"

test/dump-restore: Fix quoting on grep

2011-10-23T13:27:57Z

Thanks to Thomas Schwinge for noticing yet another place where quoting matters. Since the shell translates \. to ., the regex passed to grep is too generous without the quotes. The use of [.] is the suggestion of Tomi Ollila.

test/dump-restore: expand test suite for dump-restore, make more robust

2011-10-22T22:43:02Z

Several new tests are added, and existing use of test_begin_subtest is replaced by test_expect_success to catch failing commands in cases where we execute more than one command. Based on changes in id:"1317317811-29540-1-git-send-email-thomas@schwinge.name"

notmuch-dump: deprecate use of output file argument.

2011-10-16T22:59:53Z

We print an intentionally non-specific message on stderr, since it isn't clear if there will be some global output file argument to replace. We update the test suite atomically, since it relies on having the same text in two files.

notmuch-dump: treat any remaining arguments after the filename as search terms

2011-10-16T22:59:53Z

The main motivation here is allow the fast dumping of tag data for messages having certain tags. In practice it seems too slow to pipe dump to grep. All dump-restore tests should be working now, so we update test/dump-restore accordingly

test: add tests for command line arguments to notmuch-dump

2011-10-16T22:59:53Z

The plan is to add the possibility of search terms after the file name, and the use of -- to stop looking for an output file name.

test: update dump-restore to use redirection instead of filename args

2011-10-12T21:01:12Z

The idea here is that we want to deprecate the use of arguments to dump and restore to specify paths, since in particular we want to use the non-option arguments to dump to form a query.

test: change "#!/bin/bash" to "#!/usr/bin/env bash" enhances portability

2011-05-27T21:03:28Z

Change #!/bin/bash at start of tests to "#!/usr/bin/env bash". That way systems running on bash < 4 can prepend bash >= 4 to path before running the tests.
