+
+[PATCH 1/4] Use the Xapian::DB_RETRY_LOCK flag when available
+
+This is the original patch, rebased on master. I took the liberty of
+converting the configure test to a test compile.
+
+[PATCH 2/4] test: factor out some boilerplate from C tests
+[PATCH 3/4] test: initial tests for locking retry
+
+Add a simple test of locking retry.
+
+[PATCH 4/4] lib: add built_with handling for XAPIAN_DB_RETRY_LOCK
+
+Make it visible to the user whether their notmuch supports locking
+retry (blocking open).
+
+The remaining question for me is if we are happy with defaulting to
+blocking (w/o timeout) on open. I'm not sure how you could deadlock
+without writing C code, but it's pretty easy with fork. As I
+discovered writing my test case.
