Yeah, throw that in, too.

        ... when it begins with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with
        `notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise `refs/notes/` is prefixed to
        form a full name of the ref.

We could emphasize the end result by ending the sentence like so:

        ... form a full name of the ref that is under `refs/notes/`.

if you wanted to.  I am neutral (I do not think it would hurt, but I
do not think it adds much clarity).

Thanks.
