From: Jacob Keller <jacob.kel...@gmail.com>

I have tried to cover all of the comments since the last sending of
this series. I am not 100% sure if I got everything, so please feel free
to respond again if I missed something.

This series implements the notes.mergestrategy option, as well as a
notes.<ref>.mergestrategy option which can be used to customize what
strategy is used to merge into a particular ref. I chose to use the
local ref instead of the remote reference, as it is most likely that you
will merge into a given ref with the same strategy rather than always
using the same strategy to merge from a ref.

The notes.<ref>.mergestrategy option uses the short name under
refs/notes/ and does not allow arbitrary references. Today git-notes
does not allow *any* arbitrary ref as a notes ref for either merge or
any other operation, (see init_notes_check!). Due to this, we can force
the config to use the shorthand name instead of the full name.

In the future we may wish to allow non-write operations to reference an
arbitrary ref (such as refs/remote-notes/* or refs/tracking/*/notes/)
but this is not today supported, and in anycase merge is a destructive
write operation so it should always require refs/notes/ references.


Changes since v4
* renamed option to mergestrategy for both per-ref and general option
  for consistency and to keep the notes.merge and notes.<ref>.merge
  available as keys for future notes enhancements

* use shortrefs for notes.<ref>.mergestrategy
