[PATCH] cli: some keyword options can be supplied with no argument

David Bremner david at tethera.net

From: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg at fifthhorseman.net>

We might change some notmuch command line tools that used to be
booleans into keyword arguments.

In that case, there are some legacy tools that will expect to be able
to do "notmuch foo --bar" instead of "notmuch foo --bar=baz".

This patch makes it possible to support that older API, while
providing a warning and an encouragement to upgrade.
