Add support for "git notes"

[sashomasho]

Problem description

First I want to thank you for the great product. The first git client that makes sense for me after git-gui (which obviously lacks on the UI front, but is fast, simple and does the job. Thankfully the same is true for smerge, but only much better). There is one thing missing which I hope will find its way in the product, and that is support for git notes, at least for displaying them. I know this feature is not widely used, but in our team we have used it to put some meta information for a commit. We preferred it this way, since editing the commit always leads to a different hash, but editing the note for a commit does not.

Preferred solution In the history browser show the note text alongside the commit message, and maybe change the color of the commit square to indicate that there is a note. For example gitk shows a yellow square next to the dot.

We also find git notes useful. Is this in the queue?
