Support for multiple filenames (in notmuch library)

Support for multiple filenames (in notmuch library)

As part of my recent work to fix up the maildir-flags synchronization
patches, I found myself needing to access the complete list of filenames
for a given message. So I added the following, new public function to
libnotmuch:

	notmuch_filenames_t *
	notmuch_message_get_filenames (notmuch_message_t *message);

This of course, works with the existing notmuch_filenames_valid,
notmuch_filenames_move_to_next, and notmuch_filenames_get functions to
allow iteration over all filenames for a message.

I know some people have been wanting support like this for some time.

Others want similar support in the command-line tools, (to show
duplicate files rather than suppressing them). This would be fairly easy
to add now. Does anyone have recommendations for suitable command-line
arguments?

	notmuch search --with-duplicates

Or something else??

Anyway, have fun with this.

-Carl

Hey, Carl.  This is really great.  Thanks so much for getting this
working.

I think this is definitely the way to go.  It at least makes sense from
my perspective, and then we could add a switch to the emacs ui to return
those messages so that those of us who wanted to could see them in our
search results.

Thanks again for all the great work.

jamie.
