I list that at that end, for the curious. + +If this series goes in, in the future we might consider whether +restore --accumulate provides important functionality over batch +tagging; at the moment I suggest leaving it as the extra code to +support it is minimal, and it does support peoples existing scripts +using the old dump/restore format. + +History +------- + +About 1 year ago, Petter Reinholdtsen observed a problem with dumping +and restoring message-id's with spaces in them. + + id:2flfwhht87d.fsf@diskless.uio.no + +There followed a proposed fix + + id:1323808075-7417-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net + +Which Dmitry had a few helpful things to say about the hex encoding +libs. + +Jani took that foundation and proposed two versions of the batch +tagging, most recently at + +id:cover.1334404979.git.jani@nikula.org. + +There was some discussion with Jamie about the file format for batch +tagging in the thread + + id:cover.1333231401.git.jani@nikula.org + +id:1323808075-7417-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net +The first 6 of these patches obsolete the series + + id:1345382314-5330-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net + +which was revied by Tomi and Ethan. I think I implemented their +suggestions. + +Although I didn't re-read that whole thread, I believe this version of +the patches address's Jamie's concerns by using exactly the same +format for restore and tag --batch (renamed from Jani's choice of +--stdin). +
