Did you mean "a commit in branch bar referred to a commit in branch foo",
similar to the way the "cherry-picked from X" comment can refer to a
missing commit?

Yes, sorry, I meant referred to in the commit message.

In such a case would you rather want to see the commit itself first, or at
least, commit _and_ notes _together_?

I admit that this all depends on what application the notes are used for,
but I am suffering from lack of imagination to come up with a plausible
scenario in which you would want to look at the notes to that missing
commit first, without getting the commit itself.
