Dscho has asked me to take over the responsibility for the js/notes 
patch series.

The following is a re-roll and resend of the patch series currently in 
pu, plus my own 2 patches for adding support for "-m" and "-F" to "git 
notes edit".

On advice from Dscho, I have squashed the current bugfix and cleanup 
patches in js/notes into the first 4 "main" patches. As a result the 
original 15 + 2 patch series is now down to 5 (4 + 1) patches.

In sum, these 5 patches produce the exact same result as the original
js/notes series (plus my 2 patches).

Actually, I would like this series not to go in as-is, as the most 
important obstacle for inclusion into 1.6.2 (IIRC) was that performance 
was pretty lousy.

In the least, it should allow reading fan-out directories, but preferably 
it would even _write_ fan-out directories.

The only tricky part was how to decide which notes to take if there are 
ambiguities, but I think a concatenation (or that shallower paths take 
precedence) are both viable strategies.

Well, effectively you removed me (and others) from the author list :|

FWIW whenever I squashed other people's patches into mine (and that is not 
limited to the 'notes' branch), I tried to add proper attribution to the 
commit message.  In Open Source, the currency is merit, so attribution is 
important.

Ciao,
Dscho
