[PATCH 01/10] test: Test atomicity of notmuch new.

Austin Clements amdragon at MIT.EDU
Thu Feb 17 23:58:51 PST 2011


This tests notmuch new's ability to recover from arbitrary stopping
failures.  It interrupts notmuch new after every database commit and,
on every resulting database snapshot, re-runs notmuch new to
completion and checks that the final database state is invariant.
