[RFC PATCH 0/6] post-rewrite hook and copying notes

[Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>]

This series implements a post-rewrite hook.  This has been on my todo
list since we first got notes, but I never got around to it.

My original intended use-case was to add a note for the source of the
rewritten commit, but recent discussion on git-notes was that we
should add some feature that lets users copy over their notes when
rewriting commits.  The hook in the last patch, together with the 'git
notes copy' command now in 'pu', can achieve this.

I'm not sure whether we should stop here and declare it the user's
responsibility to enable the hook though.  My idea of a "full
integration" approach would be to instead teach 'git notes copy' to
read the same type of lists that I'm handing to post-rewrite, and then
wire calls to it into the scripts in the same places that call
post-rewrite.  Opinions?
