[Patch v2 4/4] nmbug: allow empty prefix

From: David Bremner Current code does not distinguish between an empty string in the NMBPREFIX environment variable and the variable being undefined. This makes it impossible to define an empty prefix, if, e.g. somebody wants to dump all of their tags with nmbug. ---

[Patch v2 3/4] nmbug: replace hard-coded magic hash with git-hash-object

From: David Bremner This is at least easier to understand than the magic hash. It may also be a bit more robust, although it is hard to imagine these numbers changing without many other changes in git. --- devel/nmbug/nmbug |6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3

[Patch v2 2/4] nmbug: use 'notmuch tag --batch'

From: David Bremner This should be more robust with respect to tags with whitespace and and other special characters. It also (hopefully) fixes a remaining bug handling message-ids with whitespace. It should also be noticeably faster for large sets of changes since it does

[Patch v2 1/4] nmbug: use dump --format=batch-tag

From: David Bremner This should make nmbug tolerate tags with whitespace and other special characters it. At the moment this relies on _not_ passing calls to notmuch tag through the shell, which is a documented feature of perl's system function. --- devel/nmbug/nmbug | 27

Update for nmbug, round 2

This obsoletes id:1360374019-20988-1-git-send-email-david at tethera.net This less broken than the last version ;). I've used these patches for a few days without ill effects. The first two patches use batch-tagging, which should have some speedup. The includes fixes for the issue about
