This patch series adds support for in-place editing to git interpret-trailers akin to sed -i, perl -i. v3->v4: - Reword a test title, as suggested by Eric Sunshine. - Add a test to verify that the original file is not clobbered/deleted on error, as suggested by Eric Sunshine. - Move code specific to in-place editing from process_trailers() into a separate function to keep the overall flow clean. Suggested by Eric Sunshine. - Drop unnecessary braces, as pointed out by Eric Sunshine. - Use a more meaningful title for patch 1/2. Suggested by Junio Hamano. v2->v3: - Rephrase two error messages according to the suggestions by Matthieu Moy. v1->v2: - Split patch to make review easier, as suggested by Matthieu Moy. - Rename FILE * function parameters to a more readable name, as suggested by Matthieu Moy. - Write output to temporary file and rename after successfully written in full to avoid losing the original file in case of an error/interrupt. Pointed out by Eric Sunshine.
