[PATCH 1/1] notes: copy notes to HEAD by default

[Doan Tran Cong Danh]

The target objects for copying notes was defaulted to HEAD from very
early stage of git-notes.

However, that default was limited by commit bbb1b8a35a, ("notes: check
number of parameters to "git notes copy"", 2010-06-28).

Lift that limitation by adjust the check for numbers of arguments.
