Subject: [PATCH 0/9] preserve time and date of initial commit
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 08:18:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200320081821.21715-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200305051310.GA26952@dcvr>

For messages lacking Date and/or Received headers, search
queries for "d:YYYYMMDD..YYYYMMDD" ranges can be unreliable in
mirrors, as can the $INBOX_URL/?t=$TIMESTAMP query which
only hits SQLite.

Yes, this ended up being a lot of work to deal with corner case
messages (probably most of which are spam), but there's also a
lot of internal cleanups which made the end result easier to
follow, I think...

The main fix is actually in 1/9, but it's gross.

Patch 2/9 fixes a small window where a race can happen and
cause searches to be off by a minute.

Patches 3-8 cleanup the mess left in 1 and 2,

Finally, patch 9 fixes the corner-case-of-corner-cases for
dealing with multi-MID messages which require a one-off queue to
store the git commit/author times instead of overloading msgmap.

Eric Wong (9):
  index: use git commit times on missing Date/Received
  v2writable: preserve timestamps from import if generated
  rename PublicInbox::SearchMsg => PublicInbox::Smsg
  smsg: to_doc_data: use existing fields
  overidx: parse_references: less error-prone args
  *idx: pass $smsg in more places instead of many args
  v2: pass smsg in more places
  *idx: pass smsg in even more places
  v2: SDBM-based multi Message-ID queue
