[PATCH v5 16/29] sequencer: add trailers to message before writing file

From
Li Chen <me@linux.beauty>
Date
Oct 22, 2025, 05:39 UTC
Message-ID
<20251022053951.602605-17-me@linux.beauty>
In-Reply-To
<20251022053951.602605-1-me@linux.beauty>

Added trailer processing to the in-memory commit message within do_pick_commit, ensuring fixup/squash commands remain untouched before the message is written.
