FYI, I use a post-applypatch hook to populate refs/notes/amlog notes
tree when I queue a new patch; I am not sure how well the notes in
it are preserved across rebases, but it could be a good starting
point.  The notes tree is mirrored at git://github.com/git/gitster
repository.

E.g.

$ git show --notes=amlog --stat

    worktree: fix option descriptions for `prune`
    
    The `verbose` and `expire` options of the `git worktree prune`
    subcommand have wrong descriptions in that they pretend to relate to
    objects. But as the git-worktree(1) correctly states, these options have
    nothing to do with objects but only with worktrees. Fix the description
    accordingly.
