Hey,

I just updated to latest CVS, everything works quite nicely. Couple
little things:

* Doing "tracker-query --help" or "tracker-query 'non-existant file or
search term'" gives an unhelpful GLib-CRITICAL error. Maybe you could
add some common options like -h and --help, and check for a file first
for a more meaningful message?

* Building querys manually (which will soon hopefully be done
automatically) is a bit tricky. Maybe you could put in the README the
list of accepted metadata types, or at least point them to
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/shared-filemetadata-spec or
src/tracker-extract/tracker-extract.c for a list of valid metadata?

Other than that, good work :-)

Cheers, Samuel
