/*
 * Function type for combining two notes annotating the same object.
 *
 * When adding a new note annotating the same object as an existing note, it is
 * up to the caller to decide how to combine the two notes. The decision is
 * made by passing in a function of the following form. The function accepts
 * two SHA1s -- of the existing note and the new note, respectively. The
 * function then combines the notes in whatever way it sees fit, and writes the
 * resulting SHA1 into the first SHA1 argument (cur_sha1). A non-zero return
 * value indicates failure.
 *
 * The two given SHA1s shall both be non-NULL and different from each other.
 * Either of them (but not both) may be == null_sha1, which indicates an
 * empty/non-existent note. If the resulting SHA1 (cur_sha1) is == null_sha1,
 * the note will be removed from the notes tree.
 *
 * The default combine_notes function (you get this when passing NULL) is
 * combine_notes_concatenate(), which appends the contents of the new note to
 * the contents of the existing note.

 * Flags controlling behaviour of for_each_note()
 *
 * Default behaviour of for_each_note() is to traverse every single note object
 * in the given notes tree, unpacking subtree entries along the way.
 * The following flags can be used to alter the default behaviour:
 *
 * - DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES causes for_each_note() NOT to unpack and recurse into
 *   subtree entries while traversing the notes tree. This causes notes within
 *   those subtrees NOT to be passed to the callback. Use this flag if you
 *   don't want to traverse _all_ notes, but only want to traverse the parts
 *   of the notes tree that have already been unpacked (this includes at least
 *   all notes that have been added/changed).
 *
 * - YIELD_SUBTREES causes any subtree entries that are encountered to be
 *   passed to the callback, before recursing into them. Subtree entries are
 *   not note objects, but represent intermediate directories in the notes
 *   tree. When passed to the callback, subtree entries will have a trailing
 *   slash in their path, which the callback may use to differentiate between
 *   note entries and subtree entries. Note that already-unpacked subtree
 *   entries are not part of the notes tree, and will therefore not be yielded.
 *   If this flag is used together with DONT_UNPACK_SUBTREES, for_each_note()
 *   will yield the subtree entry, but not recurse into it.

 * value from the callback is returned from for_each_note(). Hence, a zero
 * return value from for_each_note() indicates that all notes were walked
 * successfully.
 *
 * IMPORTANT: The callback function is NOT allowed to change the notes tree.
 * In other words, the following functions can NOT be invoked (on the current

 * - add_note()
