1958 * Multiple calls to freeze/thaw are valid and these calls will
1959 * "stack". That is there must be as many calls to thaw as to freeze
1960 * before a message is actually thawed.
1962 * The ability to do freeze/thaw allows for safe transactions to
1963 * change tag values. For example, explicitly setting a message to
1964 * have a given set of tags might look like this:
1966 * notmuch_message_freeze (message);

1971 * notmuch_message_add_tag (message, tags[i]);

1975 * With freeze/thaw used like this, the message in the database is
1976 * guaranteed to have either the full set of original tag values, or
1977 * the full set of new tag values, but nothing in between.
1979 * Imagine the example above without freeze/thaw and the operation
