[PATCH 0/6] cli: better tooling support for duplicate messages

[Jani Nikula <jani@nikula.org>]

Patches 1-3 are an answer to a question on IRC:

<ccxCZ> is there a way for notmuch search --output=files to only output
        one file for Message-ID instead of all?

Yes, use --duplicate=0 on the command line. ;)

I suggest this interface (instead of, say, --output=file1 which was also
contemplated) for two reasons: it allows one to choose also other files
than the first one, and the same interface could be used later on in
notmuch show to display the duplicates.

An alternative could be something like --duplicates=(all|first|rest)
which would lack the possibility to pick a specific duplicate, but would
allow one to list all the "redundant" files with --duplicates=rest (this
would correspond to a number of invocations with --duplicate=1,
--duplicate=2, etc.)

Patches 4-6 add support for querying the file counts in notmuch
count. Most useful with a single id:<message-id> query I presume.


BR,
Jani.
