Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 5bd277e2e2 notes docs: de-duplicate and combine configuration sections
Combine the various "notes" configuration sections spread across
Documentation/config/notes.txt and Documentation/git-notes.txt to live
in the former, and to be included in the latter.

We'll now forward link from "git notes" to the "CONFIGURATION" section
below, rather than to "git-config(1)" when discussing configuration
variables that are (also) discussed in that section.

notes.mergeStrategy::
Which merge strategy to choose by default when resolving notes
conflicts. Must be one of `manual`, `ours`, `theirs`, `union`, or
`cat_sort_uniq`. Defaults to `manual`. See "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES"
section of linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on each strategy.
+
This setting can be overridden by passing the `--strategy` option to
linkgit:git-notes[1].
notes.<name>.mergeStrategy::
Which merge strategy to choose when doing a notes merge into
refs/notes/<name>. This overrides the more general
"notes.mergeStrategy". See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section in
linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on the available strategies.
notes.displayRef::
Which ref (or refs, if a glob or specified more than once), in
addition to the default set by `core.notesRef` or
`GIT_NOTES_REF`, to read notes from when showing commit
messages with the 'git log' family of commands.
+
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
globs.
+
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 disabled by the `--no-notes` option to the 'git
log' family of commands, or by the `--notes=<ref>` option accepted by
those commands.
+
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`), if this variable is `false`, git will not copy
notes from the original to the rewritten commit. Defaults to
`true`. See also "`notes.rewriteRef`" below.
+
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
globs.
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`, `cat_sort_uniq`, 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. 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. Set it to `refs/notes/commits` to enable
rewriting for the default commit notes.
+
Can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF` environment variable.
See `notes.rewrite.<command>` above for a further description of its format.
