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,
