 770 <div class="sectionbody">
 771 <div class="paragraph"><p>Adds, removes, or reads notes attached to objects, without touching
 772 the objects themselves.</p></div>
 773 <div class="paragraph"><p>By default, notes are saved to and read from <code>refs/notes/commits</code>, but
 774 this default can be overridden.  See the OPTIONS, CONFIGURATION, and
 775 ENVIRONMENT sections below.  If this ref does not exist, it will be
 776 quietly created when it is first needed to store a note.</p></div>
 777 <div class="paragraph"><p>A typical use of notes is to supplement a commit message without
 778 changing the commit itself. Notes can be shown by <em>git log</em> along with
 779 the original commit message. To distinguish these notes from the
 780 message stored in the commit object, the notes are indented like the
 781 message, after an unindented line saying "Notes (&lt;refname&gt;):" (or
 782 "Notes:" for <code>refs/notes/commits</code>).</p></div>
 783 <div class="paragraph"><p>Notes can also be added to patches prepared with <code>git format-patch</code> by
 784 using the <code>--notes</code> option. Such notes are added as a patch commentary
 785 after a three dash separator line.</p></div>
 786 <div class="paragraph"><p>To change which notes are shown by <em>git log</em>, see the
 787 "notes.displayRef" discussion in <a href="#CONFIGURATION">[CONFIGURATION]</a>.</p></div>
 788 <div class="paragraph"><p>See the "notes.rewrite.&lt;command&gt;" configuration for a way to carry
 789 notes across commands that rewrite commits.</p></div>

 794 <div class="sectionbody">
 795 <div class="dlist"><dl>
 796 <dt class="hdlist1">
 797 list
 798 </dt>
 799 <dd>
 800 <p>
 801         List the notes object for a given object. If no object is
 802         given, show a list of all note objects and the objects they
 803         annotate (in the format "&lt;note object&gt; &lt;annotated object&gt;").
 804         This is the default subcommand if no subcommand is given.
 805 </p>
 806 </dd>
 807 <dt class="hdlist1">
 808 add
 809 </dt>
 810 <dd>
 811 <p>
 812         Add notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD). Abort if the
 813         object already has notes (use <code>-f</code> to overwrite existing notes).
 814         However, if you&#8217;re using <code>add</code> interactively (using an editor
 815         to supply the notes contents), then - instead of aborting -
 816         the existing notes will be opened in the editor (like the <code>edit</code>
 817         subcommand). If you specify multiple <code>-m</code> and <code>-F</code>, a blank
 818         line will be inserted between the messages. Use the <code>--separator</code>
 819         option to insert other delimiters.

 821 </dd>
 822 <dt class="hdlist1">
 823 copy
 824 </dt>
 825 <dd>
 826 <p>
 827         Copy the notes for the first object onto the second object (defaults to
 828         HEAD). Abort if the second object already has notes, or if the first
 829         object has none (use -f to overwrite existing notes to the
 830         second object). This subcommand is equivalent to:
 831         <code>git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list &lt;from-object&gt;) &lt;to-object&gt;</code>

 847         Append new message(s) given by <code>-m</code> or <code>-F</code> options to an
 848         existing note, or add them as a new note if one does not
 849         exist, for the object (defaults to HEAD).  When appending to
 850         an existing note, a blank line is added before each new
 851         message as an inter-paragraph separator.  The separator can
 852         be customized with the <code>--separator</code> option.

 876         Merge the given notes ref into the current notes ref.
 877         This will try to merge the changes made by the given
 878         notes ref (called "remote") since the merge-base (if
 879         any) into the current notes ref (called "local").
 880 </p>
 881 <div class="paragraph"><p>If conflicts arise and a strategy for automatically resolving
 882 conflicting notes (see the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section) is not given,
 883 the "manual" resolver is used. This resolver checks out the
 884 conflicting notes in a special worktree (<code>.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE</code>),
 885 and instructs the user to manually resolve the conflicts there.
 886 When done, the user can either finalize the merge with
 887 <em>git notes merge --commit</em>, or abort the merge with
 888 <em>git notes merge --abort</em>.</p></div>

 896         giving zero or one object from the command line, this is

1097         .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. The notes ref stored in the

1140 <div class="sectionbody">
1141 <div class="paragraph"><p>Commit notes are blobs containing extra information about an object
1142 (usually information to supplement a commit&#8217;s message).  These blobs
1143 are taken from notes refs.  A notes ref is usually a branch which
1144 contains "files" whose paths are the object names for the objects
1145 they describe, with some directory separators included for performance
1146 reasons <span class="footnote"><br />[Permitted pathnames have the form
1147 <em>bf</em><code>/</code><em>fe</em><code>/</code><em>30</em><code>/</code><em>&#8230;</em><code>/</code><em>680d5a&#8230;</em>: a sequence of directory
1148 names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename with the
1149 rest of the object ID.]<br /></span>.</p></div>
1150 <div class="paragraph"><p>Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref.
1151 You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g.,
1152 <code>git log -p notes/commits</code>.  Currently the commit message only records
1153 which operation triggered the update, and the commit authorship is
1154 determined according to the usual rules (see <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a>).
1155 These details may change in the future.</p></div>
1156 <div class="paragraph"><p>It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree
1157 object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with
1158 <code>git log -p -g &lt;refname&gt;</code>.</p></div>

1163 <div class="sectionbody">
1164 <div class="paragraph"><p>The default notes merge strategy is "manual", which checks out
1165 conflicting notes in a special work tree for resolving notes conflicts
1166 (<code>.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE</code>), and instructs the user to resolve the
1167 conflicts in that work tree.
1168 When done, the user can either finalize the merge with
1169 <em>git notes merge --commit</em>, or abort the merge with
1170 <em>git notes merge --abort</em>.</p></div>
1171 <div class="paragraph"><p>Users may select an automated merge strategy from among the following using
1172 either -s/--strategy option or configuring notes.mergeStrategy accordingly:</p></div>
1173 <div class="paragraph"><p>"ours" automatically resolves conflicting notes in favor of the local
1174 version (i.e. the current notes ref).</p></div>
1175 <div class="paragraph"><p>"theirs" automatically resolves notes conflicts in favor of the remote
1176 version (i.e. the given notes ref being merged into the current notes
1177 ref).</p></div>
1178 <div class="paragraph"><p>"union" automatically resolves notes conflicts by concatenating the
1179 local and remote versions.</p></div>
1180 <div class="paragraph"><p>"cat_sort_uniq" is similar to "union", but in addition to concatenating
1181 the local and remote versions, this strategy also sorts the resulting
1182 lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent
1183 to applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the local and
1184 remote versions. This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based
1185 format where one wants to avoid duplicated lines in the merge result.
1186 Note that if either the local or remote version contain duplicate lines
1187 prior to the merge, these will also be removed by this notes merge
1188 strategy.</p></div>

1217 Of course, it doesn&#8217;t make much sense to display non-text-format notes
