Hi,
What about another automatic tag to re-add to an existing mail when =notmuch
new= detect a moved, renamed or reflagged message ...
the following code sample seems to actually do the job …
Sorry I still haven't had a chance to review your patch in detail. A few
things I did wonder about
- There is a patch series in progress to add a "last modified time" to
all messages [1]. It seems like this should also work for your case
since renaming counts as modification in this context. It might not be
quite as easy/efficient for your use case as your proposal, but it
seems like it should work.
- What about messages added by notmuch-insert? I guess you are maybe not
using it, but it seems odd to only support changes detected in
notmuch-new.
- This might be because I haven't worked through the details, but it
isn't obvious to me how your patch behaves with messages with multiple
files on disk.

I think I sent in something similar [2] before the lastmod stuff, there
are some issues with reliably detecting all changes. Especially, changes
that do not result in a rename. It would be made obsolete by the lastmod
series though.
