- * example, if an earlier run skipped the mtime update because
- * fs_mtime == stat_time, or was interrupted before updating the
- * mtime at the end). To address this, we record a (bogus)
- * non-zero value before processing any child messages so that a

- * example, fail to detect removed files and subdirs).
- *
- * A better solution would be for notmuch_database_get_directory
- * to indicate if it really created a new directory or not, either
- * by a new out-argument, or by recording this information and
- * providing an accessor.
