To discern these notes from the message stored +in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after +an unindented line saying "Notes:". + +To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable +core.notesRef to the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it +to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla".

This patch teaches "git notes edit" to respect the same options for specifying a notes message without invoking the editor. Multiple "-m" and/or "-F" options are concatenated as separate paragraphs. The patch also updates the "git notes" documentation and adds selftests for the new functionality. Unfortunately, the added selftests include a couple of lines with trailing whitespace (without these the test will fail). This may cause git to warn about "whitespace errors".
