I like it too. And "notes" _is_ less to type :)

BTW, the annotations are a bit cumbersome to merge, if this
implementation is to stay (and I personally would like it to) we may
have to mention this little inconvenience somewhere.

And can I suggest an interface like the below?

    git notes [[--show] <commit>+] [-d|--delete <commit>+] [-e|--edit <commit>]

With the annotations file being completely removed if it is empty.
