Currently, git-notes barks when asked to show an empty (i.e.
non-existing) note. Change this to explicitly say there is none.

git comes with a contributed hint which suggests using the external
editor extension. There's also a script which shuffles things around and
into place for TB to accept the header lines. Alternatively, call vim as
the external editor....

OK, for the first time in I don't know how many months/years I fire up
the HTML composer in TB. Please don't tell anyone from my git
acquaintances, they'll give me an even tougher rub than usual on my next
patch submission...

I'll try and inline with <pre> a patch I sent resently... Now this looks
interesting after coming back from external editor (gvim -f). Kinda
cute. We'll see what TB makes out of it (hopefully confirming Ben's
pre-theory, uhm).

Cheers,
Michael
