The following patch introduces a few functions for aggregate project maintenance: - project-find-projects-under Select a directory with projects to index all at once. - project-remove-zombie-projects Check if all known projects still exist and remove those that don't anymore - project-remove-projects-under Remove all projects in a directory (inverse of project-find-projects-under). Especially the last two are useful to maintain a clean project list without having to manually remove every project one by one.
OK, so I have done the rename: we now have project-forget-project.While I'm not necessarily a fan of the tabulated list approach, the above list looks sensible. Let's just name them to fit the current scheme better:
project-remember-projects-under project-forget-projects-under project-forget-zombie-projectsAnd whatever ambiguities about recursive search can be solved through better descriptions in docstrings.
We could also add a hook like project-after-read-list-hook, which people would be able to use for cleanup, e.g. adding project-forget-zombie-projects to it. Not sure whether to add it there by default, though.
