From 229d6ab6bf1976906c1f0294c3f1781c12478505 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Arver Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2023 02:53:45 +0000 Subject: doc: trailer: examples: avoid the word "message" by itself Previously, "message" could mean the input, output, commit message, or "internal body text inside the commit message" (in the EXAMPLES section). Avoid overloading this term by using the appropriate meanings explicitly.
