Re: git notes: notes

No, but outputting the note as part of the log is the standard. So for
example, when you do a format-patch | apply cycle, format-patch will
insert the note as part of the commit message, and apply will *store*
the note text (including Note:\n) as part of the commit message of the
new commit.

Thanks; that was the kind of breakage report I was looking for (and wished
to have heard a lot earlier).  Personally I find it is unexcusable that
format-patch defaults to giving notes.

OTOH, format-patch could give the notes, below the ---, where it will
be ignored by apply. That would make notes handy to prepare a patch
serie with additional messages: prepare everything within Git, and use
git send-email to send it.
