existing note).

Copy the notes for the first object onto the second object.
Abort if the second object already has notes, or if the first
- objects has none. (use -f to overwrite existing notes to the

second object). This subcommand is equivalent to:
`git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list <from-object>) <to-object>`

Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
the user can further edit the note message.
+--ref <ref>::
+ Manipulate the notes tree in <ref>. This overrides both
+ GIT_NOTES_REF and the "core.notesRef" configuration. The ref
+ is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified.

+NOTES
+-----
+
+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`.
+
+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.
