I think this could be a good idea, although it wouldn't really fix the
problem, because in the case of both this commit and the one I
mentioned earlier today, all you could do with the note is point out
the earlier mistake. You couldn't actually fix it.
Also, for the notes to be useful, we'd probably need some conventions
about how we, as a project, want to use them. If everyone does
something different, the result isn't likely to be all that great.
