Add a script to edit/inspect notes
The script 'git notes' allows you to edit and show commit notes, by
calling either
git notes show <commit>
or
git notes edit <commit>
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Michael J Gruber: test and handle empty notes gracefully
- Thomas Rast:
- only clean up message file when editing
- use GIT_EDITOR and core.editor over VISUAL/EDITOR
- t3301: fix confusing quoting in test for valid notes ref
- t3301: use test_must_fail instead of !
- refuse to edit notes outside refs/notes/
- Junio C Hamano: tests: fix "export var=val"
- Christian Couder: documentation: fix 'linkgit' macro in "git-notes.txt"
- Johan Herland: minor cleanup and bugfixing in git-notes.sh (v2)
