I have to say that I am very much against tagging threads with tags that are really only applicable to specific messages, ie. ::patch, ::pushed (I prefer ::applied, but whatever), etc. For instance, a thread maybe contain multiple patches, but it is not itself a patch. Tagging entire threads as ::patch means you can't do something like this: notmuch show --format=mbox tag:notmuch::patch and not tag:notmuch::applied | git am which would in my opinion be a shame. > Since we don't have thread tagging yet (where e.g. tags are > automagically applied to new messages I was thinking it might work have > a tag like "notmuch::todo" and something like the following workflow > (for patches) I'm not sure why this is needed, since it seems to me that the whole argument for tagging entire threads is that the individual messages are *not* distinguishable from the thread. > initially tag +notmuch::patch +notmuch::todo > > then when we "dispose" of the patch somehow, remove the notmuch::todo tag and > replace with > notmuch::pushed > notmuch::obsolete > or... Please do *not* remove the ::patch tag. There is really no reason to. The message still contain a patch whether or not it is applied upstream. I really think this is important. The addition of something From a set of "resolution" tags (::pushed, ::applied, ::obsolete, ::rejected, etc.) should indicate resolution of the issue. jamie.
