I find this even more confusing.  Originally I was puzzled by the lack of
"git notes add"; it took me for quite until I managed to figure out that
"git notes edit" was the command to use, even if I wanted to add notes to
a commit that I know that does not have any.

I would expect "git notes edit" to be "edit starting from the existing one
(if exists)", and "git notes add" to be "add notes to a commit that lacks
one, complain if it already has notes, and allow --force to replace".
