I was looking at these patches and it occured to me that a
generalization like

     notmuch restore --replace=ALL      current behaviour and default

     notmuch restore --replace=NONE     proposed --accumulate behaviour

     notmuch restore --replace=<regex>  delete all tags matching regex
                                        before adding tags from file.

would solve your use case (some kind of merging?) and the case of
restoring a namespace of tags like "notmuch\..*"

Let the bikeshedding begin!
