[PATCH v4 00/11] several notes refs, post-rewrite, notes rewriting

[Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>]

Thanks Junio for your big batch of feedback.  Yet another round...

Since this topic already has three different goals, I decided to try
and get it in at least 'pu' shapes to have an agreed-upon basis for
what's next.  To that end, I ejected the filter-branch commits for
now, and hopefully addressed all comments on the existing patches.  I
still need to make up my mind (and would still appreciate input) on
the filter-branch part, but if I'm not mistaken the rest of the series
has been on Junio's wishlist.  I also already have a patch to make
format-patch fill the comment region from a notes ref that has textual
dependencies on this, which IIRC has also been mentioned as a wishlist
item once or twice.

I used the entire series plus the format-patch feature mentioned above
fairly heavily during its own development, which unearthed a few more
bugs.  If there is a comment after the --- line in every patch, it
worked ;-)

I considered this a feature, but changed it anyway since I don't care
much.  My original rationale was: core.notesRef should be in that list
implicitly, and I think the natural position if it is unsorted would
be: first.  However, that means that changing core.notesRef or
GIT_NOTES_REF can shuffle around your notes, which I thought would be
confusing.
