How about phrasing it totally differently?
The ref specifies the full refname when it begins with
`refs/notes/`; otherwise `ref/notes/` is prefixed to form a
full name of the ref.
I think that would remove the need to illustrate with concrete
examples like refs/heads/blah.
Wait, what about the DWIM of notes/<name> goes to refs/notes/<name>..
do we need to explain that here?
Yeah, throw that in, too.
... when it begins with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with
`notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise `refs/notes/` is prefixed to
form a full name of the ref.
We could emphasize the end result by ending the sentence like so:
... form a full name of the ref that is under `refs/notes/`.
if you wanted to. I am neutral (I do not think it would hurt, but I
do not think it adds much clarity).
Thanks.
