From: Teng Long <dyroneteng@xxxxxxxxx> When "git notes append <object>" is executed, if there is no note in the given object and the appended note is empty, the command line prompt will be as follows: "Removing note for object <object>" Actually, this tip is not that accurate, because there is no note in the original <object>, and it also does no remove work on the notes reference, so let's fix this and give the correct tip.
