 * Then, when wanting to check for updates to the directory in the
 * future, the client can call notmuch_database_get_timestamp and know
 * that it only needs to add files if the mtime of the directory and
 * files are newer than the stored timestamp.
 *
 * Note: The notmuch_database_get_timestamp function does not allow
 * the caller to distinguish a timestamp of 0 from a non-existent
 * timestamp. So don't store a timestamp of 0 unless you are
 * comfortable with that.
