Thanks, good to know. I suppose this definitely needs a feature name, then (I'll send a patch to make it "feature notes"). Jonathan [Aside: I suspect part of the reason "git notes" adoption is not so great is the lack of git notes fetch/git notes push. Sample size of 1: I use notes heavily as a consumer, to dig up mailing list threads[1], but have put off sharing my own annotations until I can figure out how to make it convenient for others to use.] [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109074/focus=109542
