I prefer the smaller commits in case there is some unforseen effect of
changing notmuch_database_open_verbose; it makes it easier to use git
bisect. As a commit message, it almost suffices to mention reducing code
duplication, although do note this is really a change in beheviour: your
new code strips multiple trailing /, while the old code did not.
