13DESCRIPTION
14-----------
15This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
16changing the commit. To discern these notes from the message stored
17in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after
18an unindented line saying "Notes:".
19
20To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable
21core.notesRef to the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it
22to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla". This setting
23can be overridden by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
