If you could look at the rename that would be great. Patches on top of
wip/cffi, or a ref for me to pull both sound fine.

Hmm. I've never encountered that, but maybe it has to do with killing
the environment? The test harness uses the environment variable
NOTMUCH_CONFIG to point to a test database, and if that was deleted, it
would look in ~/.notmuch-config.

Still that would really only be tags from your pytest tests, and you'd
probably recognize those?
