Some MUA's like mutt show the difference between "new" emails living in maildir
directory new/, and "old" emails living in maildir directory cur/. However
notmuch tag unconditionally moves selected messages from new/ to cur/, even if
no maildir synchronized tag is changed.
While maildir specification forbids messages with tags living in new/, there is
no need to move messages to cur/ when no maildir synchronized tag is changed.
Thus notmuch can remain transparent with respect to other MUA's.

test as broken until the actual changes are implemented -- Louis Rilling ]

Do we agree that the behaviour of moving messages to ./cur on tagging
is broken? If so, maybe it's worth tidying up and applying this. The
use of cd and ls strikes me as slightly suspect, but I welcome other
opinions.
