Yes, "commit" now (in my git repo) does both the dump and the git commit. > While I think having a central shared tag repo is ok to get started, I > would really like to see this work in a distributed way. So far I don't see any technical issues with working in a distributed way, just social ones. Whatever organization we set up, I think it is important for there to be a way to submit and manage bug reports for "outsiders". Of course, requiring a notmuch install is already a burden. > It might be nice to let the user configure what prefix they use > (ie. what goes before the "::" (currently "notmuch")). There are two simple-matters-of-programming here. One is how to do the configuration; probably "nmbug config" can be an alias for "git config nmbug.$1" or something. The other is translating between prefixes. Neither is hard, I guess. > Does this system support the removing of tags? I guess I need to see > the documentation for the restore --match option... Yes, barring bugs, removing a tag in notmuch and running "nmbug commit" should remove from the files in ~/.nmbug/tags > It's too bad there's not a way to do scoped tag searches in notmuch > (ie. notmuch search tag:"notmuch::*").

I'm trying to handle the issue of sharing non-boolean data.=20 For example,=20 - how can we record priorities bugs/patches - how can we conveniently find all of the emacs patches (b.t.w I started using notmuch::emacs for those) that jrollins has endorsed but are not pushed. Of course, nmbug could share more metadata than tags. OTOH I'd like to avoid completely reinventing a distributed [0] bug tracker. David [0] well, at least potentially distributed, depending on definitions. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQECAAYFAk6ss/cACgkQTiiN/0Um85neSgQAqygIrqgOAt9IBJ5mrD4AFmjf CYkxLrdYD1rlI+781/517BJ/nOmSVI7x08C0ZfhAUiRKQbtflhCwfMo1lPzgZeOF XmFiJuArJAKBaL7/aUY99x6IGRuoc0p/JWUhuxVaBpzzUzLG0zQZLDtg46xcSkwi 0q7vLPC3RVfmcU/mPQI= =ChoI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
