Here are a few patches adding a test case and some more user feedback on
rename failure during compaction.

Provide the user with instructions after we fail to move the old
un-compacted database out of the way.

Hi Ben;
Thanks for writing these tests. I have some proposed changes. I didn't
understand why you called notmuch search twice, and for whatever reason
test_begin_subtest doesn't pair up with test_expect_success

At this point 'errno' may have changed, so the above error string might not
be the same. Maybe removing the '%s ' part altogether as inserting the part
looks a bit strange...

the commas (,) here and a few lines above looks a bit strange to me.

Maybe saying something how to do this revert would be enlightening to the
user... (i.e. mentioning that backup_path needs to be moved as xapian_path).

Hi Ben;
I'd like to include this series in the next release, freezing on
Nov. 8. Will you have a chance to revise it before then?

Yes, I actually have the set sitting around waiting to be sent out. I'll
take care of this right now.
