Agreed. I'm starting to come around to the idea of storing them in subtrees 
based on commit dates. For one, you don't have multiple notes for one commit

Dscho: Were there other problems with the date-based approach other than not 
supporting notes on trees and blobs?

If not, I'll start preparing another series with the date-based approach.

Would you ever want to load a note for a commit when you did not have
that commit present (in which case you would not know its date)?
