Huh? cache.h includes this already, why are we doing it again?

Let's squash this into 2/3. So you were adding to it then, but we didn't
need to add this commit_notes() at all?

Also, there you did:

	-	char *logmsg;
	+	char *logmsg = NULL;

But here we see that it's only used in the initial "if" arm, so the
reason to have it declared earlier has disappeared in this 3/3. Instead
just have 2/3 do:

	if (...) {
		char *logmsg;
		[...]

		logmsg = xstrfmt(...);
	        commit_notes(....);
		free(logmsg);
	} else if (...) {
		...
	}

This commit also shows that there wasn't any reason for your "struct
note_data d" cleanup, i.e. we weren't adding a field or anything...
