+Hey, folks. I'm obviously late for this, but I just got around to\r
+testing the new compact functionality now and I wanted to comment on the\r
+path for the old xapian directory. It seems to me that\r
+\r
+ <notmuch_path>/xapian.old\r
+\r
+isn't the right place for it. I would think that\r
+\r
+ <xapian_path>.old\r
+\r
+would be a much better place. I'm not such a fan of dumping internal\r
+notmuch stuff into the main mail directory. Keeping all notmuch stuff\r
+in <notmuch_path> seems more reasonable and polite.\r
+\r
+jamie.\r
