My usecase for this is the same as for the similar patch I worked on
previously (id:1373762746-22308-1-git-send-email-awg+notmuch at xvx.ca):
I use inotify to watch for new messages in my maildir. When I receive
a new message, I run notmuch new (after waiting a couple of seconds
since messages sometimes arrive in batches). But since I already know
exactly what changed, there's no need for notmuch new to scan the
whole directory tree. I'm not sure whether this patch lets me specify
a file, or only a directory: the former would be preferable for my
usecase, but either way it's probably an enhancement for me.
