That was a wrong line of thought that led to a dead end. format-patch
won't recreate Message-Id to its output from notes/amlog, so even if
the "format-patch --stdout | am" pipeline inside rebase-am triggered
the post-applypatch hook, it would not have a chance to carry the
notes forward that way.
What was really happening was I have
$ git config --list | grep amlog
notes.rewriteref=refs/notes/amlog
and that ought to be sufficient to carry "commit-to-original-msg-id"
entries across rebases. And it seems to correctly work. I however
suspect that "cherry-pick A..B" may lose the notes, but I haven't
checked.
