Notes can be added to a commit using:
	- "-m" to provide a message on the command line.
	- -C to copy a note from a blob object.
	- -F to read the note from a file.
When these options are used, Git does not open an editor,
it simply takes the content provided via these options and
attaches it to the commit as a note.

Improve flexibility to fine-tune the note before finalizing it
by allowing the messages to be prefilled in the editor and edited
after the messages have been provided through -[mF].

    [Outreachy][RFC/PATCH] notes: teach the -e option to edit messages in
    editor
    
    Notes can be added to a commit using the -m (message), -C (copy a note
    from a blob object) or -F (read the note from a file) options. When
    these options are used, Git does not open an editor, it simply takes the
    content provided via these options and attaches it to the commit as a
    note.
    
    Improve flexibility to fine-tune the note before finalizing it by
    allowing the messages to be prefilled in the editor and edited after
    they have been provided through -[mF].

Thank you, Taylor, my Outreachy mentors Patrick and Phillip, Junio,
and all the maintainers for your time and patience in reviewing
my patches. It has been a good learning period. Thanks once again.

Nit: we typically align the contents of HERE docs with `cat`. I'm not a
huge fan of it and had been struggling with it initially, as well, but
coding style is subjective anyway and it's totally fine that one doesn't
agree with everything.

In any case, I don't think this warrants a reroll of this patch, just
to keep it in mind for future patches you may send.

Nice.

Thanks, this looks good to me overall.
