++New function `notmuch_directory_delete` to delete directory documents\r
++\r
++ Previously there was no way to delete directory documents from the\r
++ database, leading to confusing results when the "ghost" directory\r
++ document of a renamed or deleted filesystem directory was\r
++ encountered every time the parent directory was being scanned by\r
++ `notmuch new`. The mtime of the old directory document was also used\r
++ if a directory by the same name was added again in the filesystem,\r
++ potentially bypassing the scan for the directory. The issues are\r
++ fixed by providing a library call to delete directory documents, and\r
++ deleting the old documents in `notmuch new` on filesystem directory\r
++ removal or rename.\r
