And history browsers (gitk, qgit) can use it, drawing line, regardless of
semantics.

I don't mean we shouldn't define semantic for each use of "related" or
"note" header. Just like email X-* headres have detailed form and semantic
(long, long time ago Sender was X-Sender for example ;-). It's just a
toolkit.

As to suggested "related" (requiring object to exists) headers: "bind",
"prior", and perhaps "revert".
