I was trying to look back and find out what the rationale/usage =20 scenario for these commit notes might be but Googling for 'git =20 "commit notes"' doesn't turn up much other than the original patch =20 you sent a few days ago. Is this an evolution of the "git-note: A mechanisim for providing =20 free-form after-the-fact annotations on commits" first introduced here?= : Cheers, Wincent
