So it does not clear the index, right? It only assign the set of labels to the
given message. Just what I need to upgrade my sup index with my notmuch index.

Please do.

I hacked such a logging feature [1] in the past (at the time where sup
used ferret and that message loss happened), then I merged the previous index
dump with the log and compared this to the actual dump (I wrote some tools
to play with this log format).
