Subject: [RFC PATCH] cli: add --remove-all option to "notmuch tag"
Date: Tue,  4 Dec 2012 00:12:44 +0200
Message-Id: <1354572764-28701-1-git-send-email-jani@nikula.org>
Precedence: list

Add --remove-all option to "notmuch tag" to remove all tags matching
query before applying the tag changes. This allows removal and
unconditional setting of the tags of a message:

$ notmuch tag --remove-all id:foo@example.com
$ notmuch tag --remove-all +foo +bar id:foo@example.com

without having to resort to the complicated (and still quoting broken):

$ notmuch tag $(notmuch search --output=tags '*' | sed 's/^/-/') id:foo@example.com
$ notmuch tag $(notmuch search --output=tags '*' | sed 's/^/-/') +foo +bar id:foo@example.com

It's completely untested...

This is on top of David's batch tagging branch new-tagging at
git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git

If there's interest, I'll spin a new version with tests and man page
changes after David's stuff has been merged.
