+Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
+
+  Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
+  (sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax.  notmuch tag
+  no longer allows such tags to be added to messages.  Removing such
+  tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
+  but may be removed in a future release.
