A notes ref is usually a branch which +contains "files" whose paths are the object names for the objects +they describe, with some directory separators included for performance +reasons footnote:[Permitted pathnames have the form +'ab'`/`'cd'`/`'ef'`/`'...'`/`'abcdef...': a sequence of directory +names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename with the +rest of the object ID.]. Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref. You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g., -`git log -p notes/commits`. +`git log -p notes/commits`. Currently the commit message only records +which operation triggered the update, and the commit authorship is +determined according to the usual rules (see linkgit:git-commit[1]). +These details may change in the future. + +It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree +object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with +`git log -p -g <refname>`. + + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +You can use notes to add annotations with information that was not +available at the time a commit was written. + +------------ +$ git notes add -m 'Tested-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>' 72a144e2 +$ git show -s 72a144e +[...] + Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> + +Notes: + Tested-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> +------------ + +In principle, a note is a regular Git blob, and any kind of +(non-)format is accepted.
