+Hey, David et. al. I recently did an upgrade to notmuch/master after\r
+being out of the loop for a while and not noticing that a database\r
+upgrade was pending. The next notmuch new informed me that a database\r
+upgrade was required, but it went ahead and did the upgrade unprompted.\r
+Things went fine, but it did worry me a bit that I didn't know an\r
+upgrade was pending and didn't have a chance to do a backup before it\r
+happened.\r
+\r
+It would be nice if notmuch new would prompt users when an database\r
+upgrade is pending, to give the user an option to abort before\r
+proceeding so that they can do a backup if they'd like.\r
+\r
+jamie.\r
