Seems I completely missed looking at v4, sorry.

I think it's worth spelling out somewhere that this remote helper does
not deal with "remote" notmuch databases. Rather, it allows to treat a
local notmuch db as a git repository.
This may be clear to git users who read "remote helper" as "foreign
repo helper", but in many of those cases the helpers allow (and
typically are used with) remote URLs for the foreign system (svn and
such).

If I understand correctly, the typical use case here is different: use
the local git repo and git's transport mechanisms in order to "sync" a
notmuch database. I.e., notmuch <-> git is purely local (provided by
the new "remote helper"), whereas all fetching and pushing is via git.
Which is the beauty of it, of course.

What would be a good place for a "Usage" section?

NB: s/proved//provided/ in patch 9.

Cheers
Michael
