Notes API: init_notes(): Initialize the notes tree from the given notes ref
Created by a simple refactoring of initialize_notes(). Also add a new 'flags' parameter, which is a bitwise combination of notes initialization flags. For now, there is only one flag - NOTES_INIT_EMPTY - which indicates that the notes tree should not auto-load the contents of the given (or default) notes ref, but rather should leave the notes tree initialized to an empty state. This will become useful in the future when manipulating the notes tree through the notes API. Signed-off-by: Johan Herland <johan@herland.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
