These patches are pretty straightforward. But to conform to notmuch style..

Indent is 4 spaces. (You have tabs here, which are 8 spaces, according
to devel/STYLE.)

if should be more indented than try. (So when you pull try back to 4
spaces, leave if at 8 spaces.)

This line is 90 characters, and will remain at 86 once you indent using
the in-house style. I'm not sure if it's worth reformatting.
notmuch_database_close calls flush() using exactly the same 86-character
line. I'd say "don't make it worse", but personally I think breaking
this line might be worse.
