Re: [REVISED PATCH 2/6] Introduce commit notes

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

I was trying to look back and find out what the rationale/usage  
scenario for these commit notes might be but Googling for 'git  
"commit notes"' doesn't turn up much other than the original patch  
you sent a few days ago.

Is this an evolution of the "git-note: A mechanisim for providing  
free-form after-the-fact annotations on commits" first introduced here?:
