As requested by David (Bremner) on irc here is a patch series disabling the search.exclude_tags feature as a temporary measure for the 0.12 release. There are two options: The first is to disable the addition of the new search.exclude_tags item to the config file and stop setup from asking for it. The second is to do the above and also disable the functionality in notmuch-search.c and notmuch-count.c. The idea is that this these are minimal (and thus relatively safe) changes to make. With the first option users who have configured the functionality for themselves (while using git) will still get the feature: it just won't be pushed on users. With the second option the festure will be completely disabled. Essentially patch 1 implements the first option and patch 4 the second option. The other patches in the series update the NEWS file, the man page and the tests. If going for the first option then I would suggest applying (in addition to patch 1) patch 2 (NEWS) and probably patch 3 (man) although as the functionality remains the latter is not strictly necessary. The test patch (patch 5) is not necessary as the tests set search.exclude_tags directly. If going for the second option then all the patches are needed. Finally, please could someone familiar with the config/setup code check patch 1 carefully. I have never looked at that code before and could easily have done something stupid.
