and that only works part of the time. The new incremental indexing
test has revealed areas where today public-inbox does try to reuse
numbers of deleted messages.
Reusing the message numbers of existing messages is a problem because
if a client ever sees messages that are subsequently deleted the
client will not see the new messages with their old numbers.
In practice this is difficult to trigger because it requires the most
recently added message to be removed and have the removal show up in a
separate pull request. Still it can happen and it should be handled.

Upon examination with git show --pretty=raw all of the problem commits
had a time zone that was not 4 digits long. This time zone had been
passed straight from the Date line in the email into the author line
of the commit.
Looking into that I discovered that str2time takes into account the
time zone, and was actually able to process these weird time zones.
So get the normalized time zone with strptime and convert it from
seconds from gmt to hours and minutes from gmt.

Tweak over.sqlite3 queries for sqlite < 3.8
The query planner in sqlite3 < 3.8 is not very clever, so when it sees
num mentioned in the query filter, it decides not to use the fast idx_ts
index and goes for the much slower autoindex. CentOS-7 still has
sqlite-3.7, so loading the http landing page of a very large archive
(LKML) was taking over 18 seconds, as oppposed to milliseconds on a
system with sqlite-3.8 and above:
$ time sqlite3 -line over.sqlite3 'SELECT ts,ds,ddd FROM over \
WHERE num > 0 ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 1000;' > /dev/null
real 0m19.610s
user 0m17.805s
sys 0m1.805s
$ sqlite3 -line over.sqlite3 'EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN SELECT ts,ds,ddd \
FROM over WHERE num > 0 ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 1000;'
selectid = 0
order = 0
from = 0
detail = SEARCH TABLE over USING INDEX sqlite_autoindex_over_1 (num>?) (~250000 rows)
However, if we slightly tweak the query per SQlite recommendations [1]
by adding + to the num filter, we force it to use the correct index
and see much faster performance:
$ time sqlite3 -line over.sqlite3 'SELECT ts,ds,ddd FROM over \
WHERE +num > 0 ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 1000;' > /dev/null
real 0m0.007s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.002s
$ sqlite3 -line over.sqlite3 'EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN SELECT ts,ds,ddd \
FROM over WHERE +num > 0 ORDER BY ts DESC LIMIT 1000;'
selectid = 0
order = 0
from = 0
detail = SCAN TABLE over USING INDEX idx_ts (~
1464303 rows)
This appears to be the only place where this is needed in order to avoid
running into this issue.
As far as I can tell, this change has no impact on systems running newer
sqlite3 (>= 3.8).
