# Experimental Tag Sharing / Pseudo-Bug-Tracking for/with notmuch
-## getting set up
+## Getting set up
-1. The current set of patches against notmuch master is in branch nmbug,
+1. Install and use notmuch version notmuch 0.9+63~gebd1adc or newer.
- git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git
-
- Currently you need at least the version of notmuch in master, and
- the script in contrib/nmbug.
+ The nmbug script is available in contrib/nmbug
2. The current tag repo can be obtained by
- git clone --bare git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/nmbug.git $HOME/.nmbug
+ git clone --bare git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/nmbug.git $HOME/.nmbug
+
+ Check that your git is recent enough by entering
+
+ git --git-dir=$HOME/.nmbug fetch
+
+ If you get failures then you need to update your git (as well).
## Using nmbug, simple example
But you will have to change your url with
- git remote origin set-url git@pivot.cs.unb.ca:pub/nmbug
+ git --git-dir=$HOME/.nmbug remote set-url origin git@pivot.cs.unb.ca:pub/nmbug

notmuch::portability improves portability
## Tracking the patch queue
-I use the following search (in my case as a saved search in emacs).
+I (David Bremner) use the following search (in my case as a saved
+search in emacs).
- tag:notmuch::patch and not tag:notmuch::pushed and
- not tag:notmuch::obsolete and not tag:notmuch::wip
-
-Another interesting search is
+ tag:notmuch::patch and not tag:notmuch::pushed and \
+ not tag:notmuch::obsolete and not tag:notmuch::wip \
+ and not tag:notmuch::moreinfo and not tag:notmuch::contrib
+
+You might or might not want as many exclusions. Another interesting
+search is
tag:notmuch::reviewed and not tag:notmuch::pushed
