Description (last modified by )
It would be helpful if database errors reported, where possible, the path and filename they occurred in. Apparently this used to happen in earlier versions, but doesn't now.

Actually this isn't quite what I meant: I was hoping we'd be able to show which *database* file was causing the error (i.e. 'thing/postlist.baseA'). We've had occasions when a customer has reported a fault, but we don't necessarily know which database file has the problem, and want to transmit the broken one somewhere for further diagnostics.

The Xapian::Error class has a "context" string, which for the remote backend indicates the database - I think we could resolve this by setting this for non-remote DatabaseError too.

Postponing in the interests of getting a new stable release series started. This can probably be backported once done.
Actually, I don't think it did happen in earlier versions - this was confusion due to a comment I made off-channel to Charlie about some other software.
Anyway - probably the easiest way to implement this would be to implement a "THROW" macro for throwing Xapian exceptions, which added file name and line number information to the exception.
