Hmm. There has been discussion in the past on whether trees could be
stored in notes. Here's one such thread:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139165

There didn't seem to be any consensus. It might be a useful concept, but
it might introduce some complexity. That discussion is two years old
now, and notes are even older. So I don't know that there is some
pressing use case that is cut off by disallowing non-blob notes.

At the same time, is there any reason not to allow experimentation in
this area? We don't know what other people might be putting in their
private notes trees, and the current interface does allow this.

Is this fixing some important problem that justifies making such
experimentation harder?
