Either that, or the other idea we had (which I prefer), which would basically be: evenless-submit =E2=80=94 add a new mail (and return a hash ID) and invoke a hook, e.g. to let notmuch know evenless-cat =E2=80=94 print the full mail given ID with headers to st= dout evenless-delete =E2=80=94 unlink a mail identified by hash ID and invoke a hook, e.g. to let notmuch know If we expose the submit and delete functionality at the notmuch level, then we don't need the hooks for then evenless would be plumbing. Anything to avoid a cronjob would be good, I think. Then we need a notmuch backend for mutt etc.. For those who still want to use a regular Maildir, let them use the worktree. What I am wondering is if (explicit) tags couldn't be represented as tree-objects with this. evenless-link =E2=80=94 link a message object with a tree object evenless=E2=80=93unlink =E2=80=93 unlink a message object from tree object [replaces evenless-unlink] messages would then be deleted whenever using git-gc. No idea how this would sync if we don't keep ancestry. Otoh, it would probably not be very expensive to do just that. notmuch would then only search and provide the hash ID(s); tags would be a function of storage. Is it possible to find out all trees that reference a given object with Git in constant or sub-linear time? --=20 martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ =20 "the question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim." -- edsgar w. dijkstra =20 spamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net --10jrOL3x2xqLmOsH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="digital_signature_gpg.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature (see http://martin-krafft.net/gpg/) Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkt7RH0ACgkQIgvIgzMMSnUhbwCgjsJ0Eee5jvZmh1S2UaE1aout xdYAn3JbVyiyEuwBSR1jcoaNWhhZSSRd =Uphl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --10jrOL3x2xqLmOsH--
