Subject: [PATCH 0/2] doc: interpret-trailers: explain key format
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:11:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CV_doc_int-tr_key_format.533@msgid.xyz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+i-1C1DM0CHoFJ0A5CchQg=qDVLi_SSiZqcd0dxsay-Y94WTQ@mail.gmail.com>

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Topic name: doc-int-tr-2-key-format

Topic summary: Explain the format of trailer keys (alphanum and
hyphens). This is important to keep in mind so that metadata is not lost to
simple syntax errors.

To facilitate this there is a first commit/patch to reorient the
introduction towards discussing “key-value pairs”, since that makes it
easier to follow up with an explanation of the *key* format.

§ Cc

Linus Arver as the author of the example that this change touches.
