Now, what happens on redisplay is that (apparently) all the current state
is lost: the point jumps back to its original position (the beginning of
the buffer, for example), messages/parts view toggles are reset, etc.  I
guess that is just how the refresh function works -- but is it really
what we want, and how difficult would it be to preserve that state?

Either of these seem like the right approach to me. I might favor (1)
just a bit so I don't have to choose between different ways of doing the
same thing, but that's a small point. As Jamie said, they're pretty
much the same.

The option 2, i.e. optional --write (or -o|--output) should be available;
someone may run notmuch without using environment that provides
redirections (or it is just plain simpler to give the command line option
instead of doing redirections).

I've managed to reconstruct a bit of my thinking. I think it could work
with the current format if we went as follows. I also think we could use
git, but I'm not sure that wouldn't be overkill. Some of the steps are
in extreme slow motion, just to make sure we're on the same page. (I've
also replaced the real msg-ids to cut down on noise).

  1. David dumps the targeted messages (tags in namespace "my"), so we
 get a file like this:
  
  msg-id-1@example.1 (my.foo inbox)
  msg-id-2@example.2 (answered my.to-do inbox signed)

  2. David strips out everything but tags in the namespace and removes
 the namespace:

  msg-id-1@example.1 (foo)
  msg-id-2@example.2 (to-do)

  3. David makes it available, Jesse pulls.

  4. Jesse dumps the namespace he has associated with David ("bremner"):

  msg-id-3@example.3 (bremner.bar)
  msg-id-4@example.4 (bremner.bar unread)
  msg-id-1@example.1 (bremner.foo inbox)
  msg-id-5@example.5 (bremner.wishlist inbox)

  5. Jesse strips the tags:

  msg-id-3@example.3 (bar)
  msg-id-4@example.4 (bar)
  msg-id-1@example.1 (foo)
  msg-id-5@example.5 (wishlist)

  6. Jesse replaces this list with David's:

  msg-id-1@example.1 (foo)
  msg-id-2@example.2 (to-do)

  7. Jesse removes all tags with the "bremner" namespace from his
 database.

  8. Jesse adds the tags from the list in step (6), with the appropriate
 namespace, to his list of tags. The messages of interest now look like:

  msg-id-3@example.3 ()
  msg-id-4@example.4 (unread)
  msg-id-1@example.1 (bremner.foo inbox)
  msg-id-5@example.5 (inbox)
  msg-id-2@example.2 (bremner.to-do someothertag)

  9. Jesse runs `notmuch restore`

The reason I went through this slowly is to highlight the fact that the
only thing that needs to be recorded in diffs somehow (in git, let's
say) are the files in steps (5) and (6). So if we integrated this with
git, there would be something along the lines of a commit (on Jesse's
computer) in step (5) and then another commit (again on Jesse's
computer) in step (6). 

Note that we don't actually need (5) to do tag-sharing. The only reason
it's there is for keeping history.

I'm pretty sure that we don't need a commit on David's computer in step
(1), because what the history would record is when the tag-sharing
utility changed your tags, not when you did.

Note also that all we would really be asking git to do here is keep an
ordered collection of diffs of a single file. Honest question: since
this is the barest possible form of version control, is git necessary?
Some of the features, like commit messages, don't seem to fit well with
this model; and others, like branching, seem pretty useless. What's the
value added over just keeping a (compressed?) collection of diffs for
each namespace?

Best,
Jesse

Okay -- please don't bother answering this part. It was early in the
morning, and I forgot some of the obvious advantages of real version
control (we can roll back to a previous moment, etc). We still don't
need most of what git offers, but if it's the best tool for keeping
track of the move from the file in step (5) to the file in step (6),
then sure, let's use it.

If that were the case then none of the other notmuch commands would work
in the environment either.  If that's a concern, then notmuch should
have a generic --redirect option that works for all commands, as Tom
suggested out earlier.

Hi, Thomas.  I agree it would be nice to jump back to the same state in
the thread view that you were at previously.  There's not currently any
good way to do that, though, I don't think.  We would have to be
writing/saving a lot more of the current buffer state.  Suggestions and
patches are of course welcome.

IMHO 1[+2] is the way.  It breaks the dump command interface, but would
make it consistent with other commands.  Implementing the second option
(for all commands) is nice but independent and optional.  Also, perhaps
--output, --output-file or smth would a better name than --write.

Either of these seem like the right approach to me. I might favor (1)
