Subject: Teach builtin-notes to remove empty notes
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.1-rc0~37^2~29
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0b4dfa9b35a2ebac578ea5547b041bb78557238;p=git.git

Teach builtin-notes to remove empty notes

When the result of editing a note is an empty string, the associated note
entry should be deleted from the notes tree.

This allows deleting notes by invoking either "git notes -m ''" or
"git notes -F /dev/null".
