+NOTES
+-----
+
+Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref.
+You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g.,
+`git log -p notes/commits`.
+
+Currently the commit message only records which operation triggered
+the update, and the commit authorship is determined according to the
+usual rules (see linkgit:git-commit[1]). These details may change in
+the future.
