For my case (of wanting to have backup of my mailstore complete in
reasonable time, preferably using less disk space) of wanting mail in
git packs, 'notmuch cat' being used everywhere removes a lot of the
issues of doing this.

(pluggin in an alternative to readdir is fairly simple... but the emacs
UI needs to read from it too :)
