I just want output if there are unpushed changes and no output if not.

It makes sense to build in safety features only for the case of accidentally wiping out the db. Either instead or in addition to something size-based, how about requiring --force if there do not exist any tags with the prefix in the notmuch database already? The size thing is brittle; in my scripting attempts, I've encountered several annoying edge cases. > For what it's worth, you can already call > > notmuch git -C $HOME/lib/nmbug-spw -p spw:: ... > > if that is more convenient. > > The defaults have already changed in my latest working branch so the > default repo is under $XDG_DATA_HOME/notmuch/$NOTMUCH_PROFILE/git, and > the default prefix is ''.
