Gnus devel-vers: total thread score

[Nicolai Stange]

Hi all,

I've got some problems with total thread scores in Gnus from git.
Some configuration details first (evaluated in *scratch*):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.10)
 of 2012-03-16 on nic-desktop"
(gnus-version)
"Ma Gnus v0.4"
gnus-thread-score-function
+
gnus-summary-thread-gathering-function
gnus-gather-threads-by-references
gnus-thread-sort-functions
(gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Now to my strange problems:
1.) I use sth. like '(%i,%V)' in my gnus-summary-line-format:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%i          Article score (number)
%V          Total thread score (number).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, the %V value is always equal to the %i value. This is in
contrast to the Gnus shipped with Emacs 23 from Ubuntu 12.04.
It seems like there is no accumulation taking place with Gnus from git.

2.) `gnus-thread-sort-by-total-score' is actually doing some sorting
based on scores, but it behaves as if `gnus-thread-score-function' had
been set to `max', which it isn't (it is set to `#').

There are three possibilities:
- I'm stupid.
- It is a bug.
- The docs are out of sync.

Can you give me some advice?
Thanks a lot!

Nicolai
