Subject: notmuch_database_create: Document idea to (optionally) return a status
X-Git-Tag: 0.1~731
X-Git-Url: https://git.notmuchmail.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e72d6a9ecf392ec65a23b7c81d33025eaee3e1a;hp=309c0e1cc5757e153263b580e60f613f45df630e

notmuch_database_create: Document idea to (optionally) return a status

The current problem is that when this function fails the caller
doesn't get any information about what the particular failure
was, (something in the filesystem? or in Xapian?). We should fix
that.
