Before this commit, all git notes had to be part of the repository that
the notes are displayed for.
This adds an option to display notes from an external repository.

This allows you to specify additional alternate repositories to be used
with the given repository to resolve trees and commits.
The main use for this is to be able to view commits that are not really
part of the current repository. In our setup, we have an "all.git" which
is really just an empty (bare) git repository with objects/info/alternates
pointing to every other relevant repository (mainline, stable, etc.) which
we then reference with this new config option.
This is not strictly necessary for notes support, but makes it easier to
linkify certain SHA1s in the notes if those commits are not usually
available from the currently selected repository.

Looks like the list rejected 2 of the patches for containing HTML, when
those were actually plaintext emails with patches tweaking cgit's HTML
generation code -- maybe something to look into, as that doesn't seem
too unusual for patches on this mailing list.
Anyway, also attaching a tarball with all the patches here, assuming
that makes it through the filter!

... this likely blocks inclusion in CGit as I don't think there's any
desire to maintain a fork of git.git
Parts of this series look like they make sense regardless of the
separate repo option - patch 2 looks unrelated and the repo.notes_ref
config option is potentially useful to keep the CGit config separate
from gitconfig (although it should be "repo.notes-ref" for consistency
with other config keys). Are you interested in splitting those parts
out?
Regards,
John
