that is, Path not ending with a slash.
pedantically, this is a bugfix, as the manual already suggested that
this is possible (and at least one user got the hint, though he was
disappointed).
the IMAP driver already supports this.
the new one isn't an exhaustive set anymore, but a delta to the default
(or previous setting). this has the advantage that new versions aren't
automatically disabled anymore as soon as mbsync learns about them if
the user has a setting they fail to adjust.
this is only a partial solution for reporting changes, but it's
adequate if the goal is merely triggering a bulk action, like
re-indexing the local store.
inspired by patches posted by Yuri D'Elia <wavexx@thregr.org>.
this is essentially the same as 'New', but for previously seen messages,
such as those that would have been instantly expunged (because they were
marked as deleted), those that we failed to store for some reason, and
already expired ones that are now flagged.

this is more symmetrical with New, and results in some less dodgy
grammar. it also avoids confusion with the \Deleted flag.
fwiw, the pedantically correct name would be Expunges, but that's
confusingly close to the target-side expunge options. also, it's longer.
when propagation of too big messages was entirely suppressed, the only
way to force it was flagging the source message. however, now that we
have placeholders that can be flagged to trigger full propagation, it's
rather pointless to keep the old method working, and still doing it
does in fact confuse users, see for example
REFMAIL: CAOgBZNq_a9yKcq8Jw5y9VS6p2Se8mD7gkf6vPr_KU0taAWuGZQ@mail.gmail.com
to avoid this, we now almost completely shadow the regular meaning of
flagging - it basically becomes a non-synchronizable flag until the
placeholder is upgraded.
this is meant primarily for use with a redirected output, where no
progress counters are shown. but it would be weird not to have it with
tty output as well, so it replaces the counters after completion.

this makes config+data file "sets" relocatable, which is useful for
testing.
this is technically a gratuitous backwards incompatible behavior
change, but to the degree that anyone uses relative paths at all, they
almost certainly rely on PWD being set up such that they won't see a
difference.
there are fallbacks to the old locations for compatibility.
the new locations use "isync" instead of "mbsync", which is preparation
for renaming the executable back in v1.6.
the underlying metaphor refers to an inhumane practice, so using it
casually is rightfully offensive to many people. it isn't even a
particularly apt metaphor, as it suggests a strict hierarchy that is
counter to mbsync's highly symmetrical mode of operation.
the far/near terminology has been chosen as the replacement, as it is a
natural fit for the push/pull terminology. on the downside, due to these
not being nouns, a few uses are a bit awkward, and several others had to
be amended to include 'side'. also, it's conceptually quite close to
remote/local, which matches the typical use case, but is maybe a bit too
suggestive of actually non-existing limitations.
the new f/n suffixes of the -C/-R/-X options clash with pre-existing
options, so direct concatenation of short options is even less practical
than before (some suffixes of -D already clashed), but doing that leads
to unreadable command lines anyway.
as with previous deprecations, all pre-existing command line and config
options keep working, but yield a warning. the state files are silently
upgraded.
this is better than using PassCmd, as it allows the keychain manager to
identify the calling process and therefore use a selective whitelist.
unlike in the now removed example, we use an "internet password" for the
imap protocol, rather than a "generic password" - this seems more
appropriate.
based on a patch by Oliver Runge <oliver.runge@gmail.com>
It was already possible to retrieve passwords from arbitrary commands.
But this goes only half the way to allowing automated derivation of
login credentials, as some environments may also have different user
names based on the system. Therefore, add the UserCmd option to
complement PassCmd.
Based on a patch series by Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
this is actually potentially counterproductive, as people who have set
SSLVersions and fail to adjust it will _lose_ tls 1.3 support. however,
without the option being there, people (incorrectly) believe that tls
1.3 is not supported.
Some distributions (e.g. Fedora) added support for system wide crypto
policies. This is supported in most common crypto libraries including
OpenSSL. Applications can override this policy using their own cipher
string. This commit adds support for specifying the cipher string in
the mbsync configuration.
For example, to exclude Diffie-Hellman, the user can specify
CipherString "DEFAULT:!DH"
in the IMAP Account's configuration.
maildir supports a 'P' flag which denotes the fact that a message has
been 'passed' on (forwarded, bounced). notmuch syncs this to the
'passed' tag.
Per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5788, IMAP has a user-defined flag
(keyword) '$Forwarded' that is supported by many servers and clients
these days. (Technically, one should check for '$Forwarded' in the
server response.)
Restructure mbsync's flag parser to accept keywords (flags starting with
'$') but still bail out on unknown system flags (flags starting with '\').
Support '$Forwarded' as a first keyword since it maps to maildir's 'P'
and needs to be sorted in between the system flags.

the legacy style is a poorly executed attempt at Maildir++, so introduce
the latter for the sake of completeness. but most users will probably
just want to use subfolders without any additional dots.
- the old meaning of -V[V] was moved to -D{n|N}, as these are really
debugging options.
- don't print the info messages by default; this can be re-enabled with
the -V switch, and is implied by most debug options (it was really
kind of stupid that verbose/debug operation disabled these).
- the sync algo/state debugging can be separately enabled with -Ds now.
... for windows fs compatibility.
the maildir-specific InfoDelimiter inherits the global FieldDelimiter
(which affects SyncState), based on the assumption that if the sync
state is on a windows FS, the mailboxes certainly will be as well, while
the inverse is not necessarily true (when running on unix, anyway).

patch initially by Jack Stone <jwjstone@fastmail.fm>,
cleaned up by Jan Synacek <jsynacek@redhat.com>,
... and then almost completely rewritten by me. ^^
RequireCRAM (another fairly stupid "use if available" option) is now
deprecated. instead, the AuthMech option can be used to give a precise
list of acceptable authentication mechanisms (which is currently "a bit"
short). in particular, this allows *not* using CRAM-MD5 even if it's
available.
the combinations of the various options made quite a mess. additionally,
'RequireSSL no' is inherently insecure - "use SSL if available" is plain
stupid.
the old options are still accepted, but will elicit a warning.
as opposed to earlier threats, BerkDB was not entirely dropped; i
suppose the isync 0.7 -> 0.8 change had a reason, so i added an
alternative UID storage scheme.
note that BDB 4.0 is not sufficient, as the db->open function changed in
an incompatible way ...
i updated the debian packaging except for a changelog entry.
note that i removed the upgrade blurb, as upstream now has a smooth
upgrade path down to at least isync 0.4.
