[PATCH v3 4/4] doc: interpret-trailers: fix example

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>
Date: Apr 12, 2023, 19:52 UTC
Message-ID: <f6e56051078f01310b1196d64f97c2cf6173b411.1681326818.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1681326818.git.code@khaugsbakk.name>

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@example.com>

    Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@example.com>

This can’t be what was originally intended.

So change the messages in this example to use the typical “subject/message” file.
