From: Jacob Keller <jacob.kel...@gmail.com>
Allow non-destructive notes actions which do not require write
permission to be performed on refs outside of refs/notes/. The primary
advantage of this is to allow fetching remote refs to such location as
"refs/remote-notes/<remote>/foo" and then performing merges into
refs/notes/
It is not reasonable to put remote notes inside refs/notes as users may
already have conflicting names inside the notes namespace.
Remove one test case regarding merge from refs/heads/master, which will
now pass under current code. It may be worth looking how to prevent
some of these more obviously wrong merges.
