That's a pointless piping to "cat".  Piping to "cat -n" might be a
good way to illustrate what happens, though, i.e.

    $ git notes show HEAD | cat -n
         1  foo
         2
         3  bar

I have no strong preference either way (the other more obvious
alternative is to just remove "| cat").
