Re: [RFC/PATCH] commit notes workflow

So your commit template looks like:

  subject

  commit message body

  notes data

I'm curious what people think. Do others find this useful? Does it seem
harmful?

As long as this is done only under "commit --notes", I don't think it
should hurt innocent bystanders.

It's yet another magic format to worry about when writing a commit
message. But you don't need to care unless you use "--notes" (and I
would probably add a config option, since I would always want this on
personally).

Then --no-notes would also be necessary, but I think you would get it for
free these days ;-).

I only turn on --edit when we launch an editor. It seems somehow more
confusing to me that "git commit -F file" should split notes out (or
worse, "git commit -m").

So if you see -F -m and there is no --edit, you don't split out notes at
the divider?  That sounds like a sensible thing to me.
