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:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/160503

Thanks for the pointer, it looks like there are a bunch of good ideas.
I assume the lack of changes was due to nobody having the
time/inclination to implement

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/160655

Yes, I think time/inclination probably has a lot to do with it. Also,
I forgot to link to the largest mailing list thread that discusses
these changes in _much_ more detail:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/165799/focus=165885

As you can see, the discussion quickly balloons into something much
larger than a simple discussion of where remote notes should be
located...

That said, your patch 2/2 might be an acceptable stopgap measure for
the time being, and then we can reevaluate it if/when we implement a
larger ref restructuring.
