When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes ref with the resolved notes. This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit. In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three things: - The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes. This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL. - The unmerged notes. These are already stored in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1. - The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF. In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements "git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply removing the files/directory described above. FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge have been successfully finalized. The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.
