Hi,
I'm curious whether there's a more efficient way to get a list of blobs / trees (and their names) that have notes attached than doing this:
1) Get all notes refs I'm interested in (git-for-each-ref).
2) For each notes ref, get the list of notes (git-notes list) and store them in a hash table that maps object hashes to notes.
3) Recursively list all blobs / trees (git-ls-tree) and look whether an object's hash is conatined in our table to get its notes.
In particular 3) could be expensive for repos with a lot of files as we're looking at all of them just to see whether they have notes attached.
