This replaces the earlier "wip" with a real thing.

We never advertised the "--notes" option to format-patch (or
anything related to the pretty format options for that matter)
because the behaviour of these options was whatever they happened to
do, not what they were designed to do.

Stupid question: does "git am" recreate notes from "format-patch
--notes" output? If it does not, should it? I think it could be a nice
way of copying notes from one machine to another, but not enabled by
default (iow "am --notes").

Not yet, but you can already start basing your am patches on top of
Junio's series ;)

am should allow a notes ref (--notes=hereyougo) like other similar
instances.
