With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,
[notes]
displayRef = refs/notes/*
Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.

This is useful for keeping notes to objects that are being rewritten by e.g.
'git commit --amend', 'git rebase', or 'git cherry-pick'.
"git notes copy <from> <to>" is in practice equivalent to
"git notes add -C $(git notes list <from>) <to>", although it is somewhat
more convenient for regular users.
"git notes copy" takes the same -f option as "git add", to overwrite existing
notes at the target (instead of aborting with an error message).
If the <from>-object has no notes, "git notes copy" will abort with an error
message.

Inspired by the -c/-C options to "git commit", we teach these options to
"git notes add/append" to allow reuse of note objects.
With this patch in place, it is now easy to copy or move notes between
objects. For example, to copy object A's notes to object B:
git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list A) B
To move instead of copying, you simply remove the notes from the source
object afterwards, e.g.:
git notes remove A

By moving the -F option handling into a separate function (parse_file_arg),

The semantics for "git notes edit -m/-F" overlap with those for
"git notes add -f", and the behaviour (i.e. overwriting existing
notes with the given message/file) is more intuitively captured
by (and better documented with) "git notes add -f".

"git notes append" is equivalent to "git notes edit" except that instead
of editing existing notes contents, you can only append to it. This is
useful for quickly adding annotations like e.g.:
git notes append -m "Acked-by: A U Thor <author@example.com>"
"git notes append" takes the same -m/-F options as "git notes add".
If there is no existing note to append to, "git notes append" is identical
to "git notes add" (i.e. it adds a new note).

"git notes list" will list all note objects in the current notes ref (in the
format "<note object> <annotated object>"). "git notes list <object>" will
list the note object associated with the given <object>, or fail loudly if
the given <object> has no associated notes.
If no arguments are given to "git notes", it defaults to the "list"
subcommand. This is for pseudo-compatibility with "git tag" and "git branch".

Notes can annotate arbitrary objects (not only commits), but this is not
reflected in the current documentation.
This patch rewrites the git-notes documentation to talk about 'objects'
instead of 'commits'. However, the discussion on commit notes and how
they are displayed by 'git log' is largely preserved.
Finally, I add myself to the Author/Documentation credits, since most of
the lines in the git-notes code and docs are blamed on me.

When an object is made unreachable by Git, any notes that annotate that object
are not automagically made unreachable, since all notes are always trivially
reachable from a notes ref. In order to remove notes for non-existing objects,
we therefore need to add functionality for traversing the notes tree and
explicitly removing references to notes that annotate non-reachable objects.
Thus the notes objects themselves also become unreachable, and are removed
by a later garbage collect.
prune_notes() performs this traversal (by using for_each_note() internally),
and removes the notes in question from the notes tree.
Note that the effect of prune_notes() is not persistent unless a subsequent
call to write_notes_tree() is made.

The note tree structure allows for non-note entries to coexist with note
entries in a notes tree. Although we certainly expect there to be very
few non-notes in a notes tree, we should still support them to a certain
degree.
This patch teaches the notes code to preserve non-notes when updating the
notes tree with write_notes_tree(). Non-notes are not affected by fanout
restructuring.
For non-notes to be handled correctly, we can no longer allow subtree
entries that do not match the fanout structure produced by the notes code
itself. This means that fanouts like 4/36, 6/34, 8/32, 4/4/32, etc. are
no longer recognized as note subtrees; only 2-based fanouts are allowed
(2/38, 2/2/36, 2/2/2/34, etc.). Since the notes code has never at any point
_produced_ non-2-based fanouts, it is highly unlikely that this change will
cause problems for anyone.
The patch also adds some tests verifying the correct handling of non-notes
in a notes tree.

The builtin-ification includes some minor behavioural changes to the
command-line interface: It is no longer allowed to mix the -m and -F
arguments, and it is not allowed to use multiple -F options.
As part of the builtin-ification, we add the commit_notes() function
to the builtin API. This function (together with the notes.h API) can
be easily used from other builtins to manipulate the notes tree.
Also includes needed changes to t3301.

When adding a note to an object that already has an existing note, the
current solution is to concatenate the contents of the two notes. However,
the caller may instead wish to _overwrite_ the existing note with the new
note, or maybe even _ignore_ the new note, and keep the existing one. There
might also be other ways of combining notes that are only known to the
caller.
Therefore, instead of unconditionally concatenating notes, we let the caller
specify how to combine notes, by passing in a pointer to a function for
combining notes. The caller may choose to implement its own function for
notes combining, but normally one of the following three conveniently
supplied notes combination functions will be sufficient:
- combine_notes_concatenate() combines the two notes by appending the
contents of the new note to the contents of the existing note.
- combine_notes_overwrite() replaces the existing note with the new note.
- combine_notes_ignore() keeps the existing note, and ignores the new note.
A combine_notes function can be passed to init_notes() to choose a default
combine_notes function for that notes tree. If NULL is given, the notes tree
falls back to combine_notes_concatenate() as the ultimate default.
A combine_notes function can also be passed directly to add_note(), to
control the notes combining behaviour for a note addition in particular.
If NULL is passed, the combine_notes function registered for the given
notes tree is used.

Created by a simple refactoring of initialize_notes().

initialization flags. For now, there is only one flag - NOTES_INIT_EMPTY -
which indicates that the notes tree should not auto-load the contents of

initialized to an empty state. This will become useful in the future when
manipulating the notes tree through the notes API.

There is really no reason why only commit objects can be annotated. By
changing the struct commit parameter to get_commit_notes() into a sha1 we
gain the ability to annotate any object type. To reflect this in the function
naming as well, we rename get_commit_notes() to format_note().

The code used as if return value from basename(3) were stable, but
often the function is implemented to return a pointer to a static

Because basename(3) is also allowed to modify its input parameter in
place, casting constness away from the strings we obtained from the
