I am looking to use git notes to store benchmarking data of commits so I can maintain a history of a project's performance.
I know I can use git notes to attach metadata to commits, but I would like to store the benchmarking data in a separate branch other than refs/notes/commits, something like refs/notes/benchmarks, but I don't know how I would go about this.
Is it possible to use git notes in this way that I can have multiple branches of notes that refer to commits in master?
Just like this:
git notes --ref refs/notes/benchmarks add [ -m 'msg' ]
You can then see your notes in git log
git log --notes=refs/notes/benchmarks
or read notes contents for particular object (e.g. commit -- but notes can annotate other kinds of objects as well, e.g. commit's tree)
git notes --ref refs/notes/benchmarks show <commit>
