charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk This command doesn’t interface with commits directly. You can interpret or modify any kind of text, even though commit messages are the most relevant. The git(1) suite also isn’t restricted to only direct commit support since git-tag(1) learned `--trailer` in 066cef77 (builtin/tag: add --trailer option, 2024-05-05) Now, we already introduce the command in the “Name” section as dealing with commit messages as well. That is fine since that intro line needs to remain pretty short.
