Git notes list/show <revision-range>

[Vincent van Ravesteijn <vfr@lyx.org>]

Hi all,

Considering a work-flow using topic branches just as the git development uses itself, I do miss a certain feature.

When a feature/patch is proposed, it will "cook" for a while in "pu" and "next". During this period people can comment on the patch. These comments can be stored in git notes added to the commits on which is commented.

At a certain point I want to decide whether the feature can be merged into "next" or "master", so I want to collect all notes for a certain branch to see what still has to be done before this feature can be merged. One can think about this of automatically generating a "What's cooking in X" listing
the topic branches and the comments for the commits in each branch.

That's why I want to (try to) implement the feature that 'git notes list' and 'git notes show' accept a revision range and collect all notes for the commits in this range.

Do you think this will be a useful feature and that it has chances to be merged into git ?
