--- Original message follows: --------------------------------------------------------------
Notes give a way for developers to "clear the air" on an erroneous
commit that has already been published to a branch that can't be
rewritten.  They provide a text annotation to the commit that's shown
alongside the commit in views of the log.

Right now when trying to push a note, this message is displayed:

remote: ---
remote: You are trying to push the ref:
remote:
remote:   refs/notes/commits
remote:
remote: to git.gnome.org. This is not a branch or tag.
remote: ---

 ! [remote rejected] refs/notes/commits -> refs/notes/commits (pre-receive hook
declined)
