[notmuch] [PATCH 3/3] change config file location to be ~/.notmuch/config

Jameson Graef Rollins jrollins at finestructure.net
Sun Nov 22 13:58:36 PST 2009


This change creates a ~/.notmuch config directory where the config
file is stored when created with the "setup" command.  The use of a
~/.notmuch config directory creates one place where all notmuch config
files and data can be stored, which will greatly simplify managing
notmuch, and reduce cluter of user dot files.
