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.
