From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Also remove the period that trails the parenthetical here.

† 1: See `-F` in git-commit(1) which has nothing to say about whitespace
    cleanup.  The cleanup discussion is on `--cleanup`.

Notes (series):
    v2:
    • New
    • Together with one other patch replaces v1 patch “doc: notes:
      mention comment character configuration”
    • I figured out that mentioning the comment character/comment lines
      doesn’t make sense here.  So all attempts to rephrase “comment
      character” or “lines that start with `#`” are gone
