2019-12-24	testcommon: add require_mods method and use it
	This cuts down on lines of code in individual test cases and fixes some misnamed error messages by using "$0" consistently. This will also provide us with a method of swapping out dependencies which provide equivalent functionality (e.g "Xapian" SWIG can replace "Search::Xapian" XS bindings).
2019-12-19	tests: move t/common.perl to PublicInbox::TestCommon
	We want to be able to use run_script with *.t files, so t/common.perl putting subs into the top-level "main" namespace won't work. Instead, make it a module which uses Exporter like other libraries.
2019-11-29	t/replace: quiet "git fsck" invocation
	Test output can be a terminal if running as "perl -I lib t/$FOO.t", and showing fsck progress is pointless for tests.
2019-11-24	tests: quiet down commit graph
	Newer versions of git enable the commit graph by default. Since we blow away our temporary directories every test, generating graphis is a waste and clutters stderr with "Computing commit graph generation numbers" messages.
2019-11-24	tests: use File::Temp->newdir instead of tempdir()
	We'll also introduce a tmpdir() API to give tempdirs consistent names.
2019-10-16	config: support "inboxdir" in addition to "mainrepo"
	"mainrepo" ws a bad name and artifact from the early days when I intended for there to be a "spamrepo" (now just the ENV{PI_EMERGENCY} Maildir). With v2, "mainrepo" can be especially confusing, since v2 needs at least two git repositories (epoch + all.git) to function and we shouldn't confuse users by having them point to a git repository for v2. Much of our documentation already references "INBOX_DIR" for command-line arguments, so use "inboxdir" as the git-config(1)-friendly variant for that. "mainrepo" remains supported indefinitely for compatibility. Users may need to revert to old versions, or may be referring to old documentation and must not be forced to change config files to account for this change. So if you're using "mainrepo" today, I do NOT recommend changing it right away because other bugs can lurk. Link: https://public-inbox.org/meta/874l0ice8v.fsf@alyssa.is/
2019-06-16	t/replace.t: fix SKIP label for testing w/o Xapian

2019-06-09	v2writable: implement ->replace call
	Much of the existing purge code is repurposed to a general "replace" functionality. ->purge is simpler because it can just drop the information. Unlike ->purge, ->replace needs to edit existing git commits (in case of From: and Subject: headers) and reindex the modified message. We currently disallow editing of References:, In-Reply-To: and Message-ID headers because it can cause bad side effects with our threading (and our lack of rethreading support to deal with excessive matching from incorrect/invalid References).
