Seriously: gitk knows F5 and Shift-F5 for refresh, and I think the
latter is the thorougher refreshment.

Neither one makes newly added notes show up.  The only way seems to be
to close and restart gitk.  Looks like a bug.

Apparently, gitk rereads the refs but not commits it has read already -
and the commit reading includes the notes lookup.

Unfortunately, my wish-fu is lacking. But I'll cc the master.

Paulus: None of updatecommits, reloadcommits and rereadrefs seem to
reread the notes of a commit that has been displayed already if the
notes have changed (but the other refs have not).

As far as shift-F5/reloadcommits is concerned, it looks like I should
be unsetting commitinfo in reloadcommits.

However, I agree gitk should refresh the notes in updatecommits as
well, but that will take more work.  Is git notes list the best way to
find out all the current notes?

It looks like it is from the documentation.
Anyway let's add some people in Cc in case they could help.
