+\r
+If maildir.synchronize_flags is enabled (it is by default) you should\r
+take extra care to have the mail store and notmuch database in sync (by\r
+running "notmuch new") before changing tags that are synced with maildir\r
+flags. Otherwise, the following scenario is possible:\r
+\r
+1) Rename file with id:message-id in another client. Note that maildir\r
+   flag changes are also renames.\r
+\r
+2) "notmuch tag -unread id:message-id" will remove unread tag from the\r
+   message, but won't find the message file, and is thus unable to sync\r
+   the tag change to the S maildir flag. The syncing just silently\r
+   fails.\r
+\r
+3) The next "notmuch new" syncs maildir flags to tags, adding unread tag\r
+   back to id:message-id, losing your tag change.\r
+\r
+This could be considered a bug in notmuch, but not an easy one to fix\r
+race free. See http://notmuchmail.org/special-tags/ and your\r
+.notmuch-config for details about maildir flag synchronization.\r
