++ The above mentioned `lastmod:` prefix. This will be done\r

++ upgraded database will not be readable by older versions of\r
++ Notmuch. As a safeguard, a database dump will be created in the\r

++ rollover and reinitialization, and `notmuch-count(1)` gained a\r
++ `--lastmod` option to query database revision tracking data.\r
