     -    The existing git-notes doc says:
     -
     -    > Permitted pathnames have the form ab/cd/ef/…​/abcdef…​: a sequence of
     -    > directory names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename
     -    > with the rest of the object ID.
     -
     -    Even though the text says that the filename has the rest of the object ID,
     -    I felt the need to check this, since the example gives the impression that
     -    the filename is the entire object ID (a schema which is quite prevalent).
     -
     -    The new example makes it clear that the filename has only the rest of the
     -    object ID, and not the entire object ID.
     +    Make it clear that the filename has only the rest of the object ID,
     +    not the entirety of it.
