[PATCH v2] tags_to_maildir_flags: Don't rename if no flags change

[Austin Clements]

LGTM.

Quoth Louis Rilling on Jul 12 at 12:41 am:
> notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags() unconditionally moves messages from
> maildir directory "new/" to maildir directory "cur/", which makes messages lose
> their "new" status in the MUA. However some users want to keep this "new"
> status after, for instance, an auto-tagging of new messages.
> 
> However, as Austin mentioned and according to the maildir specification,
> messages living in "new/" are not allowed to have flags, even if mutt allows it
> to happen. For this reason, this patch prevents moving messages from "new/" to
> "cur/", only if no flags have to be changed. It's hopefully enough to satisfy
> mutt (and maybe other MUAs showing the "new" status) users checking the "new"
> status.
