Well, it would seem natural to re-use the nmbug logic here, and just use
a bare git repo for this. One would need a way to sync and merge the
tag-tree automatically anyway. I admit I haven't tried nmbug yet, but it
seems that nmbug, switched from sync just notmuch:: to syncing
everything but notmuch:: would be a sensible way to sync tags?
