[RFC PATCH 0/3] lib/cli/emacs: limit number of messages in search results

[Jani Nikula <jani@nikula.org>]

Hi, here are a few RFC patches that add support for limiting the number of
messages in search results. The main goal was emacs; the lib/cli patches could
probably be better thought out to be more general.

The emacs interface was inspired by vc-print-log in Emacs vc.el. You'll get
buttons [Show 2X messages] and [Show unlimited messages] at the end of search
results to expand the results. You can use the 2X button repeatedly to increase
the limit for the buffer.

When the bulk of the work was done, I was told in IRC that patches exist
towards a similar goal:
 id:"87vctrq4or.fsf@hackervisions.org"
 id:"8739gyw0zh.fsf@opensourcematters.org"

My approach is slightly different. I think it's easier and better to do this in
lib rather than just in cli.

BR,
Jani.
