Hi,
I am currently a heavy user of rebasing and noticed that my notes
don't get correctly applied, even if notes.rewrite.rebase is set
explicitly to true (though manual says that is the default).
Below is a use case that shows that a commit on a branch got rebased,
but the note was not copied to the new commit.
% mkdir notes
% cd notes
% git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/notes/.git/
% date
% git add a
% git commit -m c1
[master (root-commit) 2e24a91] c1
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 a
% git checkout -b mybranch
Switched to a new branch 'mybranch'
% date
% git add b
% git commit -m c2
[mybranch 5ef9954] c2
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 b
% git notes add -m note1
% git log
