This seems to fix the problem I reported, however applying
id:cd03efa9c93ee54f7e7f7e166079062984ddd658.1506370901.git.jani at nikula.org
on top breaks
./devel/check-out-of-tree-build.sh test
I get lots of errors along the lines of
Error opening database at
/tmp/tmp.GD3HPpejbL/test/tmp.T350-crypto/mail/.notmuch: No such
file or directory
So this patch seems to unbreak in-tree builds (and out of tree builds
where we copy the whole test hierarchy), and is probably worth applying
as is, but I wanted to give you a chance to respond before I proceed.
