+=========================
-notmuch dump changes
---------------------
+New command-line features
+-------------------------
+
+Add "notmuch restore --accumulate" option
+
+ The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
+ applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from
+ the dump file.
+
+Add search terms to "notmuch dump"
-The dump command now takes an optional search term much like notmuch
-search/show/tag. The output file argument of dump is deprecated in
-favour of using stdout.
