notmuch-sync

notmuch-sync is a toolbox for syncronizing mail setups of notmuch. Right now all it contains is a 3-way merge tool for the output of notmuch-dump(1):

usage: notmuch-sync <ancestor> <left> <right> <result>

I use this in conjunction with git to synchronize my tags. In ~/.gitconfig:

[merge "notmuchtags"]
        name = Notmuch tag merge driver
        driver = notmuch-sync %O %B %A %A
        recursive = binary

And then in .gitattributes at the root of the repo:

_tagsdump merge=notmuchtags

Where _tagsdump generated from notmuch-dump before each commit/merge, and restored with notmuch-restore after the merge.

The downside with this is that it expects a full list of tags, which can get slow to import/export when there's a lot of mail. I intend to solve this problem soonish.
