The issue with syncing notmuch is that you need to sync the tags
database as well. You can see one example way of doing that at 

         http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=notmuch-scripts.git;a=blob;f=scripts/gitmuch;hb=HEAD

Another, potentially more elegant approach is to use "notmuch remote"
scripts written by Jesse Rosenthal. I haven't done this myself, but I
did think was feasible when I looked at them.

I'm sure there are other approaches as well.
