A related issue is that when a remote helper replies to an 'import' with
_only_ a commit in refs/notes/, git (fetch or pull) produces an error
message like
error: refs/notes/hg-84b3865b750a567acb16929c21e14c4a45a5639b does not point to a valid object
but successfully updates the ref (which is indeed valid) and returns
0. I have not been able to determine what exactly git thinks is
invalid. As long as there is at least one non-notes commit in the
stream, no such error message is produced.
Is this behavior intended?
