That actually worked, but nmbug help says:

       checkout
               Update the notmuch database from git. This is mainly useful to
               discard your changes in notmuch relative to git.
[...]
       merge   Merge changes from FETCH_HEAD into HEAD, and load the result
               into notmuch.

That's why I assumed that merge is the command of choice in my
situation.

If checkout is neccessary, it surely should be added to the wiki
page. Once I've gained some experience with nmbug I'll update the
wiki, though I wouldn't mind if someone beats me to it ;)
