Is there any significant change to this picture?

I've been backing up my tags using 'notmuch dump' and a simple "newest
wins" merge (so that I don't lose tags for messages that are not in the
database at the time of the dump) followed by git.

This is okay for a backup solution (I've needed it a couple of times!),
but not ideal for a multi-machine environment.
