++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
