This is really awesome. Quite a while ago now I did some experiments on storing my entire Maildir inside git packs instead of in maildir. This produced an *amazing* saving in disk space used. My idea is to end up with Maildir for "current" (as everything delivers into Maildir without a problem) and then on a (say) monthly basis, packing all mail into an archive file and have notmuch be able to still read it. you know what... this patch set has re-ignited my interest in making that work. -- Stewart Smith
