Just a quick question: does this update the database with
maildir://files URIs instead of just filenames? In other words is it
safe to try out on actual mailstores?

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.

(I used it on a trial system but when I reverted to master some things
seemed to stop working)

Sorry for breaking it :)
