Re: [PATCH 0/2] Add --expand to 'git notes get-ref'

The second commit makes the expansion less strict about the location
of note refs.  In his initial mail introducing 'git notes', Johan says
that note refs should live under 'refs/notes' [1].  This seems like a
good place for local notes, but note refs from remote repos should
probably live somewhere else (e.g. 'refs/remote-notes/' or
'refs/remotes/<name>/notes/'.  In the initial thread there are a few
messages talking about looking up reverse mappings under 'refs/notes/',
but this seems to all have been before the 'refs/notes/<namespace>/'
stage.  If I'm missing a good reason to keep everything under
'refs/notes/', feel free to ignore the second patch.

This has been discussed a couple of times on this list, but it never
resulted in any actual changes. Read up on this thread to get some
context:
