We need to provide `--trailer sign` since the command won’t output
anything if you don’t give it an input and/or a
`--trailer`. Furthermore, the message which already contains an s-o-b is
wrong:
$ git interpret-trailers --trailer sign <msg.txt
Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@xxxxxxxxxxx>
This can’t be what was originally intended.
So change the messages in this example to use the typical
“subject/message” file.
