Is the above addition from your 'foo' notes with or without this patch? I think the answer is "without", and the above "example" looks just fine to me. - It is very much intended to allow The "(foo)" after the "Notes" label to show which notes ref the note comes from, because there can be more than one notes refs that annotate the same commit. - And the contents are indented, just like the diffstat and other stuff we place after "---" but before the first "diff", to ensure no matter what text appears there it will not be mistaken as part sure that the contents from the notes will not be mistaken as part of the patch. I do not think an unconditional change of the established format, like your patch does, is acceptable, as existing users have relied on, and expect to be able to continue relying on, the above two aspect of the current format. But I am somewhat curious what your use case that wants to insert the raw contents there is. We may be able to construct a valid argument to add such an output as an optional feature if there is a good use case for it.
