I still think Xapian's wording is more readable [1]: For a WritableDatabase, if a transaction is active it will be aborted, while if no transaction is active commit() will be implicitly called. How about: For a writable database, if a transaction is active (there was a notmuch_database_begin_atomic without a matching notmuch_database_end_atomic) it will be aborted, while if no transaction is active any pending changes will be committed.
