In the [new] section, "tags=;" will cause notmuch to create empty tags
that are fairly hard to remove from the command line.
After some help on #bup, here's what I came up with to remove them,
though it assumes that the empty tag "+ " will always be first in dump's
output:
notmuch dump --format=batch-tag 'tag:""' | perl -pe 's/^\+ //' \
| notmuch restore --format=batch-tag
And note that you have to use restore, "notmuch tag --batch" doesn't
appear to accept "- " as a tag, even though dump will produce "+ ".
Hope this helps
