Of course, you wouldn't put the cvs revision numbers on the default notes
ref ("refs/notes/commits"). You would rather put them on a _different_ notes
refs (e.g. "refs/notes/cvs"), where they would not clutter you "git log",
and then when you _need_ to look at them, you simply run:
GIT_NOTES_REF=refs/notes/cvs git log
