49 Here's one approach to keeping config information at the library
\r
50 level. IMHO, a key philosophical point is that this metadata is
\r
51 associated with a database, not with the library.
\r
53 Having every key map to a distinct file is arguably not as nice for
\r
54 humans to edit, but it avoids certain concurrency complications;
\r
55 e.g. glib can atomically write a keyfile (like we use for
\r
56 .notmuch-config), but that means e.g. the result of two concurrent
\r
57 updates to different keys is not a valid serialization.
\r
59 It won't be very efficient for huge numbers of keys, but for keeping
\r
60 some static metadata associated with a notmuch database, this should
\r
63 In addition to needing some polishing (documentation? what
\r
64 documentation?), this isn't actually used anywhere in notmuch.
