In the long term, git will need to be tweaked to automatically fetch notes along with branches by default. There are other reasons not related to remote helpers to want this, too.

In the short term, we can document which ref the notes are expected to be fetched to. Maybe someone interested would provide commands like "git remote-testsvn --clone <repo>" and "git remote-testsvn --add-remote <nickname> <repo>" as a stopgap to set up the appropriate fetch refspec automatically so the user doesn't have to worry about it.

Thanks, Jonathan
