How it works with svn-dcommit rewriting commits?

First, the idea was to do it optionally.  In addition to existing and
discouraged `svn.noMetadata` / `--no-metadata` git-svn would acquire
`svn.metadata` / `--metadata` / `--svn-metadata` = none | notes | commits
that would as one option put 'git-svn-id:' lines or their equivalent
to git notes.

Second, from what I understand from the very beginning git-notes 
was designed in such way that sharing notes is sharing ref.
git-replace shares this feature.

But please take above with a grain of salt, having never used notes
before, and not being developer of this subsystem.
