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.
