I supposed if that's the best that can be done. The problem is then that if you set notes.displayRef to refs/notes/* to see all relevant notes, don't you end up seeing these experimental, not-meant-for-end- user-consumption notes if they are somewhere under refs/notes/ ? My glob specs are a little fuzzy, maybe it's refs/notes/** that gets everything under it?
