Alright, I've made a new patch based on this feedback: * make indentation consistent with rest of test file again * rename function to wt_status_locate_end() * rephrase commit message; add paragraph about wt_status_locate_end() * s/scissors/cut line/ * Signed-off-by: me > The mention of "'commit -v -s' works that way, too" was my attempt > to justify why it is OK to make this change unconditionally to > intepret-trailers, but I am still not 100% convinced with that > reasoning (or your original log message) that it is a safe thing to > do. It is not like its sole purpose is to serve as GIT_EDITOR for > the "git commit" command. Yup, this is a heuristic and it will sometimes hit false. But a far more grievous heuristic is ignoring all lines that begin with '#', yet we do that anyway for its convenience in editing commit messages. Since we already *partially* honor commit message syntax in interpret-trailers, we might as well *completely* honor it by parsing cut lines as well. At least, that's my reasoning.
