Hi,


I would expect that when I start gitk with '--show-notes' option and
press update or reload, then it updates not just the commits, but the
notes shown in the log/diff window, too.  However, as shown below,
this is not the case.

  notes_vs_gitk$ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in
  /home/szeder/tmp/git/notes_vs_gitk/.git/
  notes_vs_gitk (master)$ echo 1 >foo
  notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git add foo

  that these notes will not appear in gitk without restarting it"

      First.
  
  Notes:
      Note, that these notes will not appear in gitk without restarting it
  
  # Press F5 in gitk for update.
  # Nope, notes are not shown.
  # Press ctrl-F5 in gitk for reload.
  # Notes are still not shown.
  
  notes_vs_gitk (master)$ kill %1
  [1]+  Terminated              gitk --show-notes master
  notes_vs_gitk (master)$ gitk --show-notes master &
  [1] 15826
  
  # Notes are shown, finally.

  notes_vs_gitk (master)$ git notes remove 
  Removing note for object HEAD

  # Press F5/ctrl-F5 in gitk.
  # The removed notes are still there.


Best,
Gábor
