`git help gc` contains this snippet:

  "[...] it will keep [..] objects referenced by the index,
  remote-tracking branches, notes saved by git notes under refs/notes/"

I had interpreted that as saying that the objects that notes were
attached to are kept, but that is not the case. Let's clarify the
documentation by moving out the part about git notes to a separate
sentence.

This looks the same as the one in
[ref]

which was v1, except that this one has your sign-off.  Sent a wrong
version?
Yes, sorry. I forgot the `-a` to `git commit --amend` (have been using
Mercurial for the last 5 years now). I'll send a v3.
