Setting 'notes.rewrite.rebase' is, as you mentioned, not necessary,
but not sufficient either. See here, especially the second paragraph:
notes.rewriteRef
When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. May be a glob, in
which case notes in all matching refs will be copied. You may also
specify this configuration several times.
Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
enable note rewriting.
Can be overridden with the GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF environment
variable.
