feature freeze for notmuch 0.20

It's been too long since we had a notmuch release. I'd like to feature
freeze May 1 and release by May 15. As usual feel free to tag things in
the review queue as notmuch::0.20, although you may also consider
reviewing them if you feel strongly that they should be in 0.20.

Yei! I guess it might be a bit much to hope for, but I have been using
Austin's lastmod patches daily since they were posted [0]. I'd really
like to see these included in a release. By the way, is there a branch
somewhere with the latest dev-version of it?

Cheers, gaute

I pushed the latest version version to

  git clone -b revision-tracking git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch

This consists of the series

     id:1428435042-16503-2-git-send-email-david@tethera.net
     
applied on top of the series 

     id:1428435042-16503-2-git-send-email-david@tethera.net

If you have any comments, please reply to those patch series, rather
than here.

2 things

for consistency and markdown/news2wiki compatibility texts inside `':s
have to be changed to texts inside `` (e.g. `crypto.gpg_path`)

There is 2 interface-changing issues in notmuch-emacs-mua that IMO should
be resolved before publishing its existence:

id:"1428132606-8624-1-git-send-email-jani@nikula.org", not creating new
frame by default. this particular version has problem when notmuch-emacs-mua
is run w/o --client option.

Second is the question whether ${EMACSCLIENT} and ${EMACS} should be put
inside double quotes (") in their exec line; current code supports

EMACS='emacs -nw' notmuch-emacs-mua ...

but not

EMACS='/path to with spaces/emacs' notmuch-emacs-mua ...

I already made a patch quoting those variables -- patch is simple but
commit message not so ;/... but then I thought the "feature" we now have
is so convenient than the alternative (and did not fully finish the commit
message).

(just currently i think we should do that quoting, and if anyone cares
later add option --args for arbitrary args -- or if env var is needed
additionally handling of EMACS_ARGS environment variable (or so)).


Alternative course of action (from the release point of view) would 
be to remove mentioning notmuch-emacs-mua in 0.20 NEWS and remove
installing of notmuc-emacs-mua.1 namual page -- IIRC notmuch-emacs-mua
is not currently installed when notmuch is installed by `make install` (*)


Tomi


(*) which I personally currently feel convenient -- as notm<TAB> expands
to `notmuch ` instead of `notmuch` ;D (and i use nottoomuch-prefixed 
alternative for the time being -- with compatible superset of
notmuch-emacs-mua options)

OK, after an unusually quiet pre-freeze time, I've tagged 0.20_rc1 and
uploaded it to Debian experimental.

We still need to sort out NEWS, at least.
