+Hi\r
+\r
+I was experimenting with letting notmuch new take an argument to tell it\r
+to scan only a particular directory (and sub-directories) for new\r
+messages. I came across the following strange behaviour which is also\r
+present in master (with a fresh database)\r
+\r
+I have a bunch of maildirs in /home/mail: so folders .mail.foo/\r
+.mail.bar/ each of which has cur/new/tmp and all the messages are in\r
+cur.\r
+\r
+If I do mv .mail.foo .mail.bar/ and run notmuch new I get the expected\r
+lots of renames (900 or so in the case I was trying). But if I then do\r
+mv .mail.bar/.mail.foo . and run notmuch new almost all the messages get\r
+removed (but 30 renames do get detected). If I then do touch .mail.foo/*\r
+the messages get found again\r
+\r
+I am guessing the 30 renames might be because those 30 have duplicates\r
+somewhere else. \r
+\r
+But the other behaviour has me puzzled.\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
+\r
+Mark\r
