+Previously notmuch_restore_command returned 0 if tag_message returned\r
+a non-zero (failure) value. This is wrong, since non-zero status\r
+indicates something mysterious went wrong with retrieving the message,\r
+or applying it.\r
+\r
+There was also a failure to check or propagate the return value from\r
+tag_op_list_apply in tag_message.\r
