If you use any of the Git tools, they support an "unfold" option like: git log --format='%(trailers:unfold)' that normalizes this. However, I would not be at all surprised if people use custom readers. I think it may be a good policy to stick to the simplest machine-readable formats for trailers. Likewise I'd suggest using the full sha1-hex for future-proofing in this context. -Peff
