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.

Heya,

Assuming you do download all notes, I think it would be nice to be
able to read the note; and since there's no way to download the commit
separately it would require one to guess which head the commit belongs
to and fetch the entire branch...?
