Merge changes made in Gnus trunk. Reimplement nnimap, and do tweaks to the rest of the code to support that. * gnus-int.el (gnus-finish-retrieve-group-infos) (gnus-retrieve-group-data-early): New functions. * gnus-range.el (gnus-range-nconcat): New function. * gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Support early retrieval of data. (gnus-read-active-for-groups): Support finishing the early retrieval of data. * gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-move-article): Pass the move-to group name if the move is internal, so that nnimap can do fast internal moves. * gnus.el (gnus-article-special-mark-lists): Add uid/active tuples, for nnimap usage. * nnimap.el: Rewritten. * nnmail.el (nnmail-inhibit-default-split-group): New internal variable to allow the mail splitting to not return a default group. This is useful for nnimap, which will leave unmatched mail in the inbox. * utf7.el (utf7-encode): Autoload. Implement shell connection. * nnimap.el (nnimap-open-shell-stream): New function. (nnimap-open-connection): Use it. Get the number of lines by using BODYSTRUCTURE. (nnimap-transform-headers): Get the number of lines in each message. (nnimap-retrieve-headers): Query for BODYSTRUCTURE so that we get the number of lines. Not all servers return UIDNEXT. Work past this problem. Remove junk from end of file. Fix typo in "bogus" section. Make capabilties be case-insensitive. Require cl when compiling. Don't bug out if the LIST command doesn't have any parameters. 2010-09-17 Knut Anders Hatlen <[e-mail]> (tiny change) * nnimap.el (nnimap-get-groups): Don't bug out if the LIST command doesn't have any parameters. (mm-text-html-renderer): Document gnus-article-html. 2010-09-17 Julien Danjou <[e-mail]> (tiny fix) * mm-decode.el (mm-text-html-renderer): Document gnus-article-html. * dgnushack.el: Define netrc-credentials. If the user doesn't have a /etc/services, supply some sensible port defaults. Have `unseen-or-unread' select an unread unseen article first. (nntp-open-server): Return whether the open was successful or not. Throughout all files, replace (save-excursion (set-buffer ...)) with (with-current-buffer ... ). Save result so that it doesn't say "failed" all the time. Add ~/.authinfo to the default, since that's probably most useful for users. Don't use the "finish" method when we're reading from the agent. Add some more nnimap-relevant agent stuff to nnagent.el. * nnimap.el (nnimap-with-process-buffer): Removed. Revert one line that was changed by mistake in the last checkin. (nnimap-open-connection): Don't error out when we can't make a connection nnimap-related changes to avoid bugging out if we can't contact a server. * gnus-start.el (gnus-get-unread-articles): Don't try to scan groups from methods that are denied. * nnimap.el (nnimap-possibly-change-group): Return nil if we can't log in. (nnimap-finish-retrieve-group-infos): Make sure we're not waiting for nothing. * gnus-sum.el (gnus-select-newsgroup): Indent.

NOTES ON COMMITTING TO EMACS'S BAZAAR REPO    -*- outline -*-

* Install changes only on one branch, let them get merged elsewhere if needed.
In particular, install bug-fixes only on the release branch (if there
is one) and let them get synced to the trunk; do not install them by
hand on the trunk as well.  E.g. if there is an active "emacs-23" branch
and you have a bug-fix appropriate for the next Emacs-23.x release,
install it only on the emacs-23 branch, not on the trunk as well.

Installing things manually into more than one branch makes merges more
difficult.

* Backporting a bug-fix from the trunk to a branch (e.g. "emacs-23").
Label the commit as a backport, e.g. by starting the commit message with
"Backport:".  This is helpful for the person merging the release branch
to the trunk.

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-05/msg00262.html

* Installing changes from your personal branches.
If your branch has only a single commit, or many different real
commits, it is fine to do a merge.  If your branch has only a very
small number of "real" commits, but several "merge from trunks", it is
preferred that you take your branch's diff, apply it to the trunk, and
commit directly, not merge.  This keeps the history cleaner.

In general, when working on some feature in a separate branch, it is
preferable not to merge from trunk until you are done with the
feature.  Unless you really need some change that was done on the
trunk while you were developing on the branch, you don't really need
those merges; just merge once, when you are done with the feature, and
Bazaar will take care of the rest.  Bazaar is much better in this than
CVS, so interim merges are unnecessary.

Or use shelves; or rebase; or do something else.  See the thread for
yet another fun excursion into the exciting world of version control.
