+format.notes::
+ Provides the default value for the `--notes` option to
+ format-patch. Accepts a boolean value, or a ref which specifies
+ where to get notes. If false, format-patch defaults to
+ `--no-notes`. If true, format-patch defaults to `--notes`. If
+ set to a non-boolean value, format-patch defaults to
+ `--notes=<ref>`, where `ref` is the non-boolean value. Defaults
+ to false.
++
+If one wishes to use the ref `ref/notes/true`, please use that literal
+instead.
++
+This configuration can be specified multiple times in order to allow
+multiple notes refs to be included.
