Ok.  I started up a gnus installation that hadn't been running since
Friday, after first pulling from git and rebuilding.

It came up with unread articles on all nnimap folders that had received
email since Friday.  I did `M-g' on all of them and the unread count
went to 0.  Visiting the groups I could verify that messages had the
expected tick marks.

What does `M-g' do?  Update the .newsrc.eld information?  Update the
flags on the server?  If `M-g' is updating the .newsrc.eld, does that
mean that the .newsrc.eld information can override the the information
on the IMAP server?
