new: Centralize file type stat-ing logic

2012-05-25T00:53:08Z

This moves our logic to get a file's type into one function. This has several benefits: we can support OSes and file systems that do not provide dirent.d_type or always return DT_UNKNOWN, complex symlink-handling logic has been replaced by a simple stat fall-through in one place, and the error message for un-stat-able file is more accurate (previously, the error always mentioned directories, even though a broken symlink is not a directory).

test: Test notmuch new with a broken symlink

test: replace occurrences of $PWD with vars that are more stable

Thanks to Dmitry Kurochkin for pointing this out: id:"87d39ymyb4.fsf@gmail.com"

add support for user-specified files & directories to ignore

2012-02-17T12:04:34Z

A new configuration key 'new.ignore' is used to determine which files and directories user wants not to be scanned as new mails. Mark the corresponding test as no longer broken. This work merges my previous attempts and Andreas Amann's work in id:"ylp7hi23mw8.fsf@tyndall.ie"

test: add tests wrt ignoring user-specified files and directories

2012-02-17T12:04:23Z

Files and directories which are specified in 'new.ignore' in the config file shouldn't be indexed nor reported by `notmuch new'. This is basically Pieter's work with Austin's comments addressed.

test: Nix increment_mtime.

2011-06-29T22:26:45Z

With the fix for the mtime race, this workaround is no longer necessary.

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.

test: Remove useless NOTMUCH variable (in favor of simply "notmuch")

2010-09-20T23:15:08Z

When the NOTMUCH variable was originally invented it was used as an explicit path to the notmuch binary being tested. Today, the test suite sets the PATH variable instead, so the NOTMUCH variable always has a value of simply "notmuch". We simplifying that by using the constant value rather than the continual variable reference.

test: Rename all tests to get rid of the ugly numbers in file names.

2010-09-17T23:01:42Z

The numbers were meaningless, and they made it hard to find a file of interest. Instead, we get the ordering we want by adding an explicit list of tests to run to the notmuch-test script.
