builtin-notes: Add -c/-C options for reusing notes
Inspired by the -c/-C options to "git commit", we teach these options to "git notes add/append" to allow reuse of note objects. With this patch in place, it is now easy to copy or move notes between objects. For example, to copy object A's notes to object B: git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list A) B To move instead of copying, you simply remove the notes from the source object afterwards, e.g.: git notes remove A The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new functionality.
