I could live with the performance issues, but it seems that it re-tags
every "Processed" file (renamed or not) as inbox.  This brings about
20k messages back into my inbox, which is a bit unusable.  The problem
seems to be that notmuch_database_add_message returns
NOTMUCH_STATUS_SUCCESS whether or not a new message was really added.
I don't know if there is an easy fix for this, or if it is worth
pursuing, given that the patch won't be committed.

P.S. do people want to be CC'd on this list, or not?
