I've just written another quick wrapper around 'git notes' which makes it less painless to share notes to and from remote repositories:

    https://github.com/aspiers/git-config/blob/master/bin/git-rnotes

This makes sharing of notes as easy as:

    git rnotes $remote push
    git rnotes $remote fetch
    git rnotes $remote merge
    git rnotes $remote pull

and was born from this discussion:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12055303/merging-git-notes-when-there-are-merge-conflicts-in-them/

Once the Great Refs Namespace Debate is resolved[0], would this kind of UI would be a candidate for pushing into git-notes itself?

Cheers, Adam
