The sources of mbox patches fed to git-am are 1) threads downloaded
from a public-inbox HTTP instance, 2) mboxes generated via
piem-mid-to-thread-functions, and 3) those generated via
piem-am-ready-mbox-functions. The first source should always be
mboxrd. For the second, piem-notmuch-mid-to-thread is currently the
only function suitable for piem-mid-to-thread-functions, and it uses
mboxrd. The third source is a mix between mbox and mboxrd.
By default, git-am tries to auto-detect the patch format, but let's
explicitly specify --patch-format to avoid any incorrect guesses.

This logic will be used in another spot.
|
|
piem-am will become a command that works with mboxes outside of -b4.
In this context, it's easier and cleaner to deal with a buffer than
temporary files.
|
|
The end goal is to turn piem-am into a command that can work with
patches extracted from the current buffer. Pull out the logic that
can be reused for this.
|
|
Directing all piem-related output to one buffer should be sufficient,
for now at least.
|
|
These are things that will be used outside of piem-b4.
|
|
|
|
Conceptually these are under ";;; Code", so add a ";" to reflect that.
|
|
|
|
This option was added in b4 v0.4.1.
|
|
The function for generating the default branch name may need to be
tweaked to give useful suggestions in practice. Let's see.
|
|
When passing a name like "a.mbx" to b4-am's --mbox-name, only the "a"
is retained; b4-am unconditionally appends the ".mbx". Avoid passing
a name with ".mbx" to make it clearer that the caller does not control
the extension.
Reduce the base name to "m" to avoid a message ID ending with ".*"
being treated as an extension, which would require analyzing the
message ID in order to guess what output name b4-am will use.
Finally, name the custom thread mbox with "-piem" rather than
"-thread" (which was chosen to mimic b4-mbox) so it's more obvious who
created the file when later inspecting the directory.

The subprocess handling needs reworked and polished, so this helper
likely won't stay around in its current form for long, but it's still
useful to send git through it so that a failure signals an error and
shows the output.
|
|
Aside from switching the 'b4 am' process to an asynchronous one, the
am-ready commands may not need a lot of work. The more interesting
variant, piem-b4-am-from-mid, can find an associated code repository
and am the patch, but there's a lot that needs to be fleshed out.
