Allow users to specify the --blocksize <B>, --no-full, --fuller
options for xapian-compact(1) for fine-tuning compact behavior
for low-traffic/inactive inboxes.

We also won't support --multipass, since it doesn't seem
compatible with our requirement to use --no-renumber.

We also won't support --single-file, since it only seems
intended for totally dead inboxes; and it doesn't seem
worth the support overhead when "totally dead" turns out
to be a misdiagnosis.

* [PATCH 00/26] xcpdb: ease Xapian DB format migrations

I've noticed performance problems in Xapian's old chert
backend which seem alleviated with the new glass backend;
particularly related to phrase searches.

Unfortunately, the tool distributed with Xapian for updating DB
formats, copydatabase(1), is extremely slow and blocking updates
for hours at a time to perform the migration is not acceptable.
(That's right, "copydatabase" is NOT a Postgres command!)

So, I've written "public-inbox-xcpdb" and gotten it to perform
the bulk copy operation without holding inbox.lock and have it
deal gracefully with Xapian DB modifications.  xcpdb is still
slow, but I've (finally!) implemented partial reindexing to
allow it to minimize the lock time and not stall -mda or -watch
processes while it is working.

There's a bunch of cleanups along the way, too; and it should
make future changes to repartition the Xapian DB on existing v2
inboxes easier.

Eric Wong (26):
  t/convert-compact: skip on missing xapian-compact(1)
  v1writable: retire in favor of InboxWritable
  doc: document the reason for --no-renumber
  search: reenable phrase search on non-chert Xapian
  xapcmd: new module for wrapping Xapian commands
  admin: hoist out resolve_inboxes for -compact and -index
  xapcmd: support spawn options
  xcpdb: new tool which wraps Xapian's copydatabase(1)
  xapcmd: do not cleanup on errors
  admin: move index_inbox over
  xcpdb: implement using Perl bindings
  xapcmd: xcpdb supports compaction
  v2writable: hoist out log_range sub for readability
  xcpdb: use fine-grained locking
  xcpdb: implement progress reporting
  xcpdb: cleanup error handling and diagnosis
  xapcmd: avoid EXDEV when finalizing changes
  doc: xcpdb: update to reflect the current state
  xapcmd: use "print STDERR" for progress reporting
  xcpdb: show re-indexing progress
  xcpdb: remove temporary directories on aborts
  compact: reuse infrastructure from xcpdb
  xcpdb|compact: support some xapian-compact switches
  xapcmd: cleanup on interrupted xcpdb "--compact"
  xcpdb|compact: support --jobs/-j flag like gmake(1)
  xapcmd: do not reset %SIG until last Xtmpdir is done
