Hi,
I would expect that when I start gitk with '--show-notes' option and
press update or reload, then it updates not just the commits, but the
notes shown in the log/diff window, too. However, as shown below,
this is not the case.
notes_vs_gitk$ git init

First.
Notes:
Note, that these notes will not appear in gitk without restarting it
# Press F5 in gitk for update.
# Nope, notes are not shown.
# Press ctrl-F5 in gitk for reload.
# Notes are still not shown.
notes_vs_gitk (master)$ kill %1
[1]+ Terminated gitk --show-notes master
notes_vs_gitk (master)$ gitk --show-notes master &
[1] 15826
# Notes are shown, finally.
notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git notes remove
Removing note for object HEAD
# Press F5/ctrl-F5 in gitk.
