How about:

'refs/notes/y' is already referenced from 'NOTES_MERGE_REF' in
'/home/dturner/git/t/trash directory.t3320-notes-merge-worktrees/'

Does that make sense?

It's not the only place in the error messages that mentions
NOTES_MERGE_REF, so I think we expect users to understand
NOTES_MERGE_REF.  The alternative is to move the error handling to an
even higher level so we can give a notes-specific message.  I don't
think that's necessary, but I'll do it if others do.

I went with "target" (by analogy to the target of a symlink).
