LGTM.

$ notmuch tag + -- id:edc2bc900f75bb2e72be2037e2df9105be7f0273.1393174108.git.jani at nikula.org

there is empty tag.

$ notmuch tag - -- id:edc2bc900f75bb2e72be2037e2df9105be7f0273.1393174108.git.jani at nikula.org
<no output -- exit value 0>

Also, SomeBody(tm) should add '\n' to the fprintf() in tag-util.c:175 (line
