It doesn't change any of the existing filenames or do anything like a
database "upgrade". If you run notmuch new, it should add a URI-based
filename to each message, but I don't think it should remove old filenames,
so I would expect it to be fine. But I didn't expect anyone to try it on
their actual mail database.

Sorry for breaking it :)
