on pulling/cloning git notes

Hi list,

I've been playing recently with git notes and figured out how to push my notes to my central gitolite server, tweaking .git/config in this way (adding a push section):

[remote "gitolite"]
        url = gitolite:daat
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gitolite/*
        push = +refs/notes/*:refs/notes/*

When trying to to a 'git clone --mirror' from that same gitolite server, I was expecting to get back refs/notes, but I did not.

Did I miss something or git notes are actually not meant to be cloned/pulled?
