That actually sounds like a sensible thing to do, if you replace
'foo' with 'heads', for example, i.e. refs/notes/refs/heads/bar is a
notes about commits reachable from the branch whose name is 'bar'.

So given "refs/heads/bar", which is unqualified in the context of
talking about references that hold notes trees, the current
behaviour to turn it into "refs/notes/refs/heads/bar" is very
sensible, I would think.
