How do you ensure that the external tag store and your mail store do
not go out of sync? I assume that mails without a tagfile are simply
untagged, so that's hardly the issue. However, if you delete a mail,
how do you ensure that the tag database is cleaned up?

Also, do you attach tags automatically, e.g. with procmail on the
server? If so, how do you initiate git-pull locally?

Would you consider sharing your script?
