charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk We removed the initial comparison to email headers in the previous commit. Now the introduction paragraph just says “trailer lines”, and the only hint that this is metadata/structured information is the “otherwise free-form” phrase. Let’s replace “lines” with “metadata” since that is their purpose. This also makes the introduction more consistent with how I chose to define trailers in the glossary:[1] “Key-value metadata”. (We will introduce “key–value” in the upcoming commit “explain the format after the intro”.) † 1: 68e3c69e (Documentation/glossary: describe "trailer", 2024-11-17) Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk --- Notes (series): v2: [new] Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.adoc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.adoc b/Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.adoc index 1878848ad2a..3f60fd9b720 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.adoc +++ b/Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.adoc @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ git interpret-trailers [--in-place] [--trim-empty] DESCRIPTION ----------- -Add or parse _trailer_ lines at the end of the otherwise +Add or parse trailers metadata at the end of the otherwise free-form part of a commit message.
