Yes, what you described sounds *exactly* like git-notes :)

1, 2, 3, and 4 are all implemented, as far as I know.  However, I
don't think notes copy during a rebase.  My gut feeling is that you
probably shouldn't be rebasing so much that this is an issue.  I'm
guessing that you should copy the note to the new commit ID after the
rebase.

I have also found the documentation lacking.  It helped a bit to see
the history.  It's pretty compact in the logs.  Here are two commands
to isolate the commits:

git log --reverse fed8a7de3592~..df27f6280545
gitk fed8a7de3592..df27f6280545
