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". 24 25 26SUBCOMMANDS 27----------- 28 29edit:: 30 Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD). 31 32show:: 33 Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD). 34 35 36OPTIONS 37------- 38-m <msg>:: 39 Use the given note message (instead of prompting). 40 If multiple `-m` (or `-F`) options are given, their 41 values are concatenated as separate paragraphs. 42 43-F <file>:: 44 Take the note message from the given file.
