Currently if you try to merge notes, the notes code ensures that the reference is under the 'refs/notes' namespace. In order to do any sort of collaborative workflow, this doesn't work well as you can't easily have local notes refs seperate from remote notes refs. This patch changes the expand_notes_ref function to check for simply a leading refs/ instead of refs/notes to check if we're being passed an expanded notes reference. This would allow us to set up refs/remotes-notes or otherwise keep mergeable notes references outside of what would be contained in the notes push refspec.
