I sync my two Notmuch configuration files -- personal notebook and
workplace desktop -- over Unison via a USB flash drive. This way, when
I want to reconfigure Notmuch in one machine, I have the other machine's
configuration as reference. However, I do not sync the entire Notmuch
databases because, since they are big and change frequently, I suppose
they would wear the USB flash drive and also increase the
synchronization time.
Thus for my use case it would be useful if "notmuch config edit" could
automatically keep a perennial text file reflecting the configuration in
the database. That text file would then be synchronized by Unison.
