title: Git notes details
body: <p>I've read <a href="http://git-scm.com/2010/08/25/notes.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a> and <a href="https://github.com/blog/707-git-notes-display" rel="noreferrer">this</a> but still see them as obscure. By far understood:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>creation (<code>git notes add -m "a note"</code>)</li>
  <li>notes are namespaced</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>notes seem not to create a commit, so how the <code>push</code> (<a href="https://gist.github.com/topheman/ec8cde7c54e24a785e52" rel="noreferrer">example</a>) is possible for them? what is the mechanism underneath it? what is note addition conceptually if not a commit?</li>
  <li>where can I see my <code>push</code>'ed notes on Github UI?</li>
  <li>is there any relation between Github <a href="http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screen-Shot-2012-08-22-at-9.16.57-PM.png" rel="noreferrer"><em>commit comments</em></a> people can make and notes functionality?</li>
  <li>if Github comments <em>are</em> notes how can I fetch them and see on them on my local comp via <code>git log</code>?</li>
  <li>if Github comments <em>are not</em> notes, what they are and is it possible to fetch them?</li>
  <li>are notes mergeable? how?</li>
  <li>are there any caveats of resolving conflicts for edited notes?</li>
  <li>are there any other problems/difficulities with notes?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
