Update (August 14, 2014): Displaying Git notes on GitHub is no longer supported.
I just blogged about the new git-notes functionality over at the Pro Git blog. If you’re interested in using Git notes for something, you might be interested to know that GitHub now supports them and will display them on your commit pages.
