  11'git-notes' (edit [-F <file> | -m <msg>] | show) [commit]

  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".
