[notmuch] Idea for storing tags

2010-01-11 Thread Scott Morrison

[notmuch] Idea for storing tags

2010-01-11 Thread Scott Robinson
I wrote a script to store and sync my tags. * One filename per message-ID. * Line-feed seperated tags in each file. Then the whole structure is controlled via git. Conflict-resolution and sync comes for free. It isn't clear what use-case the earlier e-mail is aiming to satisfy. This is how I

Hello, I just updated notmuch and now notmuch new cannot update my mail anymore... It tells me that there are 700 files found, but tells that there's no new mail. I did a git bisect, which tells me the first bad commit is commit 2e96464f9705be4ec772280cad71a6c9d5831e6f. I did not try to use th
