In v1.7.1 "git notes" was builtin-ified (it used to be a shell script, but was reimplemented in C), so you're still running the shell script version of "git notes". I believe upgrading will solve your problem (as well as making "git notes" more featureful). ...Johan -- Johan Herland, <johan@xxxxxxxxxxx> www.herland.net -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
