Support showing notes from more than one notes tree
With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,
[notes]
displayRef = refs/notes/*
Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.
Thanks to Junio C Hamano for lots of feedback, which greatly
influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.
