Is that true? I've always lost the notes when rebasing. I just tried that again now (1.7.5.4), and after a rebase the notes attached to any commit that was rebased just disappeared. I've always had to hunt down and re-create the notes. It would indeed be much more convenient if the notes would tag along.
