Yes, that was obviously an oversight on my part.

Actually, no, although verifying that required double-checking that
each of the -m/-F/-c/-C parsers which store data into &d, do in fact
set d.given.

I suggest to either move the free_note_data(&d) call below the "if
(!d.given)" block, or reorganize into this (which at the moment reads
better to me):

    if (note) {
        if (!force) {
            free_notes(t);
            if (d.given) {
                free_note_data(&d);
                return error(_("Cannot add notes. "
                    "Found existing notes for object %s. "
                    "Use '-f' to overwrite existing notes"),
                    sha1_to_hex(object));
            }
            /*
             * Redirect to "edit" subcommand.
             *
             * We only end up here if none of -m/-F/-c/-C or -f are
             * given. The original args are therefore still in
             * argv[0-1].
             */
            argv[0] = "edit";
            return append_edit(argc, argv, prefix);
        }
        fprintf(stderr, _("Overwriting existing notes for object %s\n"),
            sha1_to_hex(object));
    }

This keeps the two free_* calls close together, only separated by if
(d.given), which nicely indicates whether we need to call
free_notes_data(&d) at all.

If that looks good to you, do you want a re-roll, or is it easier to
fix up yourself?
