Re: git notes: notes

As Thomas already stated, git log is porcelain, and its output format is not

probably use the --format option, or use plumbing instead (such as e.g. git 
rev-list, which also has a --format option).

But git log --format=raw --raw output was changed by notes.

Might be worth documenting in release notes, maybe too late now though.
But really, it's all good, notes are a great feature.

PS, Has anyone thought about using notes to warn bisect away from
commits that are known to be unbuildable or otherwise cause bisection
trouble?

No, I haven't thought of that specific use case. Great idea! :)

Only problem I see with doing it is it might be too easy to overwrite
such a note with git notes edit -m

Did you consider having -m append a line to an existing note?
