When a note is detailing commit history, it makes sense to keep the latest change on top, but unlike adding things at the bottom with "git notes append" this can only be done manually. Add a git notes prepend command, which works exactly like the append command, except that it inserts the text before the current contents of the note instead of after.Hmmm. I am not sure that I see the widespread need for such a tool. If this is specific to your use-case, I think a custom script and `$GIT_EDITOR` would do the trick.
Couldn't the same argument be made for append? Imho, it's a missing symmetry. Ofc it's probably not quite hard to script around this.
