Clever. I was wondering if the option parsing done by the revision machinery was readily available for us to use from range-diff code, but because we are forking out to "log" anyway, giving it the new "--show-notes-by-default" option does sound like a much easier way out. It would help something like

	[alias] ln = !"git log --show-notes-by-default"

as well.  Nicely designed.
