Hello:

It looks like git-filter-repo has no support for copying notes, even when the
following is defined in git-config:

    [notes]
      rewriteRef = refs/notes/commits
    [notes "rewrite"]
      rebase = true
      amend = true

I'm wondering if this is deliberately left out or if it's something that will
be potentially implemented in the future.

Best wishes,
Konstantin
