When a commit being range-diff'd has a note attached to it, the note will be compared as well. However, this shouldn't happen since the purpose of range-diff is to compare the difference between two commit-ranges and, since the note attached to a commit is mutable, they shouldn't be included as part of the comparison.

Add `--no-notes` to the `git log` call and mark the corresponding test as passing.
