Documentation/notes: add configuration section

Browse Source 
Copy the descriptions of configuration variables from git-config.1.
Once the descriptions have been ironed out, it would be nice to
refactor them to share text, but for now it is simplest to experiment
with separate copies.

@ -183,6 +183,65 @@ with 'git log', so if you use such notes, you'll probably need to write
some special-purpose tools to do something useful with them.
CONFIGURATION
-------------
core.notesRef::
When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
notes should be printed.
+
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
the 'GIT_NOTES_REF' environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
notes.displayRef::
The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
ignored.
+
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
globs.
+
The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
displayed.
notes.rewrite.<command>::
When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
`rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, git
automatically copies your notes from the original to the
rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
"notes.rewriteRef" below.
notes.rewriteMode::
When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
"notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
`overwrite`, `concatenate`, or `ignore`. Defaults to
`concatenate`.
+
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
environment variable.
notes.rewriteRef::
When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
You may also specify this configuration several times.
+
Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
enable note rewriting.
+
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
globs.
