Cool!

Which branch(es) is/are that ? What are the semantics of that?

Assume I commit something to branch "foo"

Now I get that late Ack/Reviewed-by and want to associate that to that
commit in branch "foo". Does that go into "notes/foo" ?

If yes, good. (Any other sensible prefix is good as well). If no,
where does it go to?

Later when I send a pull request to my upstream maintainer for branch
"foo" does he get "notes/foo" automagically or do I have to request to
pull him that separately?

Either way is fine for me, though something which lets me "automate"
that would be appreciated. I can work around that easily as my pull
requests are generated via scripts, so I can add the secondary one for
the dependent "notes" branch if necessary. Though it would be nice to
avoid that. Avoiding that, i.e having a straight connection (maybe
configurable) between "foo" and "notes/foo" and the commits which have
not yet hit my upstream maintainer would make my life easier. I.e. I
just have to check "foo" for stuff which is not upstream yet instead
of checking both, but that might just be my laziness.

Thoughts?
