Redmine

A relatively new, but useful feature of git are git notes. Redmine currently does not handle notes correctly.
GitHub recently rolled out with support of notes. Perhaps redmine could do something similar.

I like this feature, at least to add support display notes online as first step,

Would be great to have commit-to-ticket relations under a given notes-ref.

For example:
git notes --ref=redmine add -m "see #18271"

The related commit should be displayed (like already done by commits containing such a relation directly) on the ticket's details page.

This would separate the actual commit message (what have been done) and the relation to redmine tickets into a separate namespace.
Imho this is cleaner than having the relation in the commit message itself.

+1. too many times commiters fofget IssueId # tagging. Notes could be a good way to handle this at the repository side.
