The callback function for --trailer writes directly to the global trailer_args and ignores opt->value completely. This is OK, since that's where we expect to find the value. But it does mean the option declaration isn't as clear. E.g., we have: OPT_BOOL(0, "reset-author", &renew_authorship, ...), OPT_CALLBACK_F(0, "trailer", NULL, ..., opt_pass_trailer) In the first one we can see where the result will be stored, but in the second, we get only NULL, and you have to go read the callback. Let's pass &trailer_args, and use it in the callback. As a bonus, this silences a -Wunused-parameter warning.
