+NAME
+----
+git-notes - Add/inspect commit notes
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-notes' (edit [-F <file> | -m <msg>] | show) [commit]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
+changing the commit. To discern these notes from the message stored
+in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after
+an unindented line saying "Notes:".
+
+To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable
+core.notesRef to the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it
+to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla". This setting
+can be overridden by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
+
+
+SUBCOMMANDS
+-----------
+
+edit::
+ Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+
+show::
+ Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-m <msg>::
+ Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
+ If multiple `-m` (or `-F`) options are given, their
+ values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
+
+-F <file>::
+ Take the note message from the given file. Use '-' to
+ read the note message from the standard input.
+ If multiple `-F` (or `-m`) options are given, their
+ values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
