Commit logs as shown by git-log are usually indented by four spaces so here it makes sense to do the same for commit notes. However when using format-patch to create a patch for submission via e-mail the commit log isn't indented and also the "Notes:" header isn't really useful. So consequently don't indent and skip the header in this case. This also removes the empty line between the end-of-commit marker and the start of the notes.
