[PATCH] docs: improve the example that illustrates git-notes path names

[Noam Yorav-Raphael via GitGitGadget]

From: Noam Yorav-Raphael <noamraph@gmail.com>

The existing git-notes doc says:

> Permitted pathnames have the form ab/cd/ef/…​/abcdef…​: a sequence of
> directory names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename
> with the rest of the object ID.

Even though the text says that the filename has the rest of the object ID,
I felt the need to check this, since the example gives the impression that
the filename is the entire object ID (a schema which is quite prevalent).

The new example makes it clear that the filename has only the rest of the
object ID, and not the entire object ID.

This part of the commit message is unnecessary, since it can easily be
read off from the diff.

Please use the imperative mood here. Instead of the above, consider:

  Make it clear that the filename has only the rest of the object ID,
  not the entirety of it.

I had to read this twice to figure out why the first 'ab' changed to
'12'. It appears that this is to avoid having to use 'gh...' in the
last directory, since 'g', 'h' and so on aren't hexadecimal digits.

Makes sense.

The patch looks fine, but the commit message needs some tweaking.
Thanks.

You can wrap-around to '0' after counting up to 'f', no ;-)?

Having '/.../' between '56' and '789' to indicate "there are more
levels possible here" is somewhat misleading with the new example.
We could argue that the original objectname does not have to be
"123456789abc.." but then the whole exercise becomes somewhat
pointless as the objectname could have been 'abcdef...abcdef...'.

Another minor nit: it probably makes it read more natural to start
counting from '0' when writing hexadecimal, if we really want to
use sequence of ascending hexdigits.

Using a seemingly random example 85/b4/.../808d9ee6debdf167ced3
might be less confusing, because ...

>>  names of two hexadecimal digits each followed by a filename with the
>>  rest of the object ID.].

... I think these two lines is pleanty clear than any example, so I
am OK with either the old or the updated example, but I think a
seemingly random example as long as the leaf level does not share
the leading hexdigits as the pathname would work the best.

I agree with your reasoning (it didn't occur to me as a problem before,
but seeing it spelled out in front of me I could understand how such an
example might be confusing).

This looks great, thank you. I left one note below, but I don't think
that you should feel obligated to address it.

Sorry for not suggesting this earlier, but I think you could just as
easily start this with '01' instead of '12'. I don't think that it
matters, though, the point that you're trying to illustrate is perfectly
clear.
