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.

change it from --{push,pull} to --{new,gone,flags,upgrade}.
that alone doesn't change anything; combining it with any other option
would cause a complaint anyway.
this enables us to introduce --{push,pull}-full, which will matter when
--full doesn't actually include all type flags any more, as we'll then
be able to combine it with the extra type flag(s). in the same vein, we
now advertize "Sync Full" instead of "Sync All" (both continue to be
recognized).
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

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.
while at it, add/fix some licenses/copyrights/comments:
- it makes no sense to have a GPL exception in scripts
- ted did not contribute to the man page
- tst_timers is not part of the mbsync executable
- explicitly put the build system under GPL and add copyrights
manual:
- explain what "rename on move" really means
- reword "remote" to "opposite" to make it less confusing
(possibly renaming TrashRemoteNew left as an exercise for later)
- mention example mbsyncrc
- consistently capitalize Store/Channel/Group where they refer to the
respective configuration entities
- emphasize that SyncState may need a trailing slash (as we do for Path)
- fix missing mention of global usage/default for some options
example mbsyncrc:
- add big fat note that empty lines matter
- stop demoing deprecated options
- point out that CertificateFile is optional

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.
there is no reason not to, and debian even disabled 1.0 globally,
because it's (theoretically) too insecure in some contexts (BEAST
attack).
in the compat wrapper, the UseTLSv1 option has been re-interpreted as
v1.x, to avoid adding new options.
do that by wrapping the actual stores into proxies.
the proxy driver's code is auto-generated from function templates, some
parameters, and the declarations of the driver functions themselves.
attempts to do it with CPP macros turned out to be a nightmare.
turns out i misread the spec in a subtle way: while all other folders
are physically nested under INBOX, the IMAP view puts them at the same
(root) level. to get them shown as subfolders of INBOX, they need to
have _two_ leading dots.
this also implies that the Maildir++ mode has no use for a Path, so
reject attempts to specify one.
