Subject: [PATCH 2/2] index: support --compact / -c on command-line
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2020 00:56:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200328005604.17573-3-e@yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200328005604.17573-1-e@yhbt.net>

It's more convenient to specify `-c' / `--compact' on the
command-line when reindexing than it is to invoke
public-inbox-compact(1) separately.

This is especially convenient in low-space situations when
public-inbox-index is operating on multiple inboxes
sequentially, as compaction can happen immediately after
indexing each inbox, instead of waiting until all inboxes are
indexed.
