The mail's subject should ideally be a short summary of what the patch
does, whereas the commit message here should contain a description of
what the problem is, why it is a problem and how you fix it.

Additional context like the greetings you wrote above or the trailer of
this mail can go here, between the "---" and the diff stat. This kind of
information should not go into the commit history because people
wouldn't care about greetings when going through the logs, but about
what the patch itself is about.

On the technical side: I don't think that these commands actually need
to be converted. As the microproject site [1] says, pipes may discard
the left-hand side of the pipe, not the right-hand side. And given that
the left-hand side is in all cases only using `printf` I rather doubt
that this would ever really fail.

So ultimately, we care more about converting sites where the left-hand
side is a Git command itself. "t2104-update-index-skip-worktree.sh" for
example has several cases where Git commands are on the left-hand side
and that could be converted.
