Git Notes: git's coolest, most unloved feature

Is anyone here using these? If so, what for?

@christophski I used to use it some time ago. It was to store cryptographically verifiable timestamps of the commits. Git has native support for cryptographically verifiable proof of authorship (using GPG and SSH keys), but not for timestamps. I used FreeTSA (https://freetsa.org/index_en.php) for this.
