Currently, we store this information as Xapian +metadata, but this has several downsides for performance and +complexity and results in hard-to-fix thread linking bugs. This patch +series implements "ghost messages", which replace this Xapian metadata +with Xapian documents that look and act very much like regular message +documents, but simply have no content. This simplifies and speeds up +our thread linking algorithm and fixes the currently broken thread +linking test. + +Ghost messages also open up interesting future possibilities, such as +"pre-seeding" tags for messages that are not yet indexed. This could +be used to make notmuch insert simpler and more robust, as part of tag +synchronization, and to improve nmbug's behavior when tags arrive +before messages. +
