I wondered if this might actually be a non-cosmetic bug, if you could so something like: git notes add --cleanup=only-comments which would retain the extra newlines. But there is no --cleanup option for git-notes at all (it always calls strbuf_stripspace() internally). And there is no "comments only" cleanup mode; it is either "clean nothing", "clean space but leave comments", or "clean both". So I think it really is just cosmetic. -Peff
