This is really awesome.
Quite a while ago now I did some experiments on storing my entire
Maildir inside git packs instead of in maildir. This produced an
*amazing* saving in disk space used. My idea is to end up with Maildir
for "current" (as everything delivers into Maildir without a problem)
and then on a (say) monthly basis, packing all mail into an archive file
and have notmuch be able to still read it.
you know what... this patch set has re-ignited my interest in making
that work.
