Any notes at all are considered breaking

[dbasilio]

We maintain a custom conventional changelog link that we would like to use with semantic-release, but any time we've tried this, any time we merge a PR it's treated as a breaking change because of this line right here:

(!breaking || (commit.notes && commit.notes.length > 0)) &&

It treats any commit note at all as a breaking change. I'm pretty sure this is because the angular conventional discards all notes unless they are a breaking change https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/blob/master/packages/conventional-changelog-angular/writer-opts.js#L31-L34 (I checked a few other conventional changelogs and did not see them using the notes field at all).

This breaks our conventional changelog because we maintain detailed notes for each of the commits inside of a squashed commit. We use this in other places to analyze the squashed commits to determine what the correct release type is. For example, if a commit looks like this:

fix: Something small

* feat: Add a feat

Then the correct release for that squashed commit would be a feat. Semantic release has this concept itself when multiple commits are released at once, we do the same thing just at a PR level.

That problematic line above means that any PR that is squashed is treated as a breaking change though, which means we end up having to maintain a separate set of release rules which defeats the whole purpose of creating a conventional-changelog for our org.

IMO that line should be changed to scan for BREAKING CHANGE in the notes instead of default treating the presence of a note s a breaking change.
