+ * 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 must both be non-NULL and different from each other.
+ *
+ * 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.
