List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 01:08:21 -0000 Hi I was experimenting with letting notmuch new take an argument to tell it to scan only a particular directory (and sub-directories) for new messages. I came across the following strange behaviour which is also present in master (with a fresh database) I have a bunch of maildirs in /home/mail: so folders .mail.foo/ .mail.bar/ each of which has cur/new/tmp and all the messages are in cur. If I do mv .mail.foo .mail.bar/ and run notmuch new I get the expected lots of renames (900 or so in the case I was trying). But if I then do mv .mail.bar/.mail.foo . and run notmuch new almost all the messages get removed (but 30 renames do get detected). If I then do touch .mail.foo/* the messages get found again I am guessing the 30 renames might be because those 30 have duplicates somewhere else. But the other behaviour has me puzzled. Best wishes Mark
