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.
