Merge branch 'mh/notes-allow-reading-treeish'
Some "git notes" operations, e.g. "git log --notes=<note>", should be able to read notes from any tree-ish that is shaped like a notes tree, but the notes infrastructure required that the argument must be a ref under refs/notes/. Loosen it to require a valid ref only when the operation would update the notes (in which case we must have a place to store the updated notes tree, iow, a ref). * mh/notes-allow-reading-treeish: notes: allow treeish expressions as notes ref
