In the description of git interpret-trailers, we describe "a group…of lines" that have certain characteristics. Because the first option uses a plural verb (referring to "lines"), the second option must also use plural verbs for parallelism.
Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> --- I'm somewhat on the fence about this patch. To me, the number disagreement is very jarring. However, I'm also sympathetic to the fact that the latter sentence reads more naturally in the singular.
Opinions on improvements welcome.
