b275da816c Documentation: fix reference to ifExists for interpret-trailers
The manual for "git interpret-trailers" mentioned a non-existing
literal `overwrite` for its config option `trailer.ifexists`.  The
correct name for that choice is `replace`.

df616b19b4 doc: mention user-configured trailers
In commit 1462450 ("trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block",
2016-10-21), functionality was added (and tested [1]) to allow
non-trailer lines in trailer blocks, as long as those blocks contain at
least one Git-generated or user-configured trailer, and consists of at
least 25% trailers. The documentation was updated to mention this new
functionality, but did not mention "user-configured trailer".

Further update the documentation to also mention "user-configured
trailer".

t/t7513-interpret-trailers.sh

60ef86a162 trailer: support values folded to multiple lines
Currently, interpret-trailers requires that a trailer be only on 1 line.
For example:

a: first line
   second line

would be interpreted as one trailer line followed by one non-trailer line.

Make interpret-trailers support RFC 822-style folding, treating those
lines as one logical trailer.

c463a6b280 trailer: forbid leading whitespace in trailers
Currently, interpret-trailers allows leading whitespace in trailer
lines. This leads to false positives, especially for quoted lines or
bullet lists.

Forbid leading whitespace in trailers.

146245063e trailer: allow non-trailers in trailer block
Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to
be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a
trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank
line.  For example:

  echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" |
  git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"

would result in:

  Signed-off-by: x
  not trailer

  c: d

Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i)
are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and
consists of at least 25% trailers.

  Signed-off-by: x
  not trailer
  c: d

(i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be
included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow
interpret-trailers to be used.

bcf9626a71 doc: typeset long command-line options as literal
Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of
forward-quotes, for long options.

This was obtained with:

  perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt

and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to
describe rewritten history).

e1f898639e interpret-trailers: add option for in-place editing
Add a command line option --in-place to support in-place editing akin to
sed -i.  This allows to write commands like the following:

  git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" a.txt > b.txt && mv b.txt a.txt

in a more concise way:

  git interpret-trailers --trailer "X: Y" --in-place a.txt

f745acb028 Documentation: typofixes
In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:

 - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
 - Spell Linux as Capitalized;
 - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".
