Sounds like a good plan. If the message does move to stderr, there are also a few tests in 3310 that need adjusted. They presume an error message from `git notes merge`, but they only redirect stdout to the output file.

While I was bored, I prepared a commit with these changes and confirmed the test suite passes, in case we get an ACK from Johan.
