That is just bikeshedding, but I'd rather not use '@', which currently
is used only for _reflog_ based revision specifiers: [<ref>]@{<date>},
[<ref>]@{<n>}, @{-<n>}, for notes which are not reflog based.
We can use
echo <commit>^{notes} | git --notes-ref=<namespace> cat-file --batch
or perhaps
echo <commit>^{notes:<namespace>} | git cat-file --batch
