Defaulting the number of Xapian shards based on the number
of CPUs can be detrimental to performance given the lack of
speed in common storage systems; since NVMe speeds are not
yet common.

To help public-inbox users recover from this inefficiency while
allowing continuous email archival, we can support arbitrary
resharding to have fewer shards (or more, if doing HW upgrades).

Note: I'm also going to move the documentation towards using the
word "shard" (instead of "partition") to be consistent with
current Xapian documentation (1.4+, and "master").

Xapian 1.2 did not use the word "shard" at all, but IME from my
interactions with non-Xapian search engine folks, the word
"shard" is pretty common.

Eric Wong (4):
  v2writable: use a smaller default for Xapian partitions
  xapcmd: preserve indexlevel based on the destination
  xcpdb: use destination shard as progress prefix
  xcpdb: support resharding v2 repos
