@vegard @legoktm I just wish that notes weren't so fragile. They are good for annotating commits that were merged and are unlikely to change, but WIP branches that get rebased a lot are always in danger of losing the notes if the branch isn't properly configured to copy them post-rebase. There are other problems, too: they live in a separate ref, so developers need to remember to push them separately from their code branches; they can result in merge conflicts in shared repos; they scale non-linearly because they are effectively just a bunch of files.

So, in general, people who dislike git-notes generally have good reasons for that — which doesn't mean that they aren't a useful auxiliary tool, of course.
