The standard for command documentation synopses appears to be:
[...] means optional
<...> means replaceable
[<...>] means both optional and replaceable
So fix a number of doc pages that use incorrect variations of the
above.

lines" that have certain characteristics. Ensure both options
describing this group use a singular verb for parallelism.

"git interpret-trailers" has been taught a "--parse" and a few
other options to make it easier for scripts to grab existing
trailer lines from a commit log message.
* jk/trailers-parse:
doc/interpret-trailers: fix "the this" typo
pretty: support normalization options for %(trailers)
t4205: refactor %(trailers) tests
pretty: move trailer formatting to trailer.c
interpret-trailers: add --parse convenience option
interpret-trailers: add an option to unfold values
interpret-trailers: add an option to show only existing trailers
interpret-trailers: add an option to show only the trailers
trailer: put process_trailers() options into a struct
The last few commits have added command line options that
can turn interpret-trailers into a parsing tool. Since
they'd most often be used together, let's provide a
convenient single option for callers to invoke this mode.
This is implemented as a callback rather than a boolean so
that its effect is applied immediately, as if those options
had been specified. Later options can then override them.
E.g.:
git interpret-trailers --parse --no-unfold
would work.
Let's also update the documentation to make clear that this
parsing mode behaves quite differently than the normal
"add trailers to the input" mode.

The point of "--only-trailers" is to give a caller an output
that's easy for them to parse. Getting rid of the
non-trailer material helps, but we still may see more
complicated syntax like whitespace continuation. Let's add
an option to unfold any continuation, giving the output as a
single "key: value" line per trailer.
As a bonus, this could be used even without --only-trailers
to clean up unusual formatting in the incoming data.

It can be useful to invoke interpret-trailers for the
primary purpose of parsing existing trailers. But in that
case, we don't want to apply existing ifMissing or ifExists
rules from the config. Let's add a special mode where we
avoid applying those rules. Coupled with --only-trailers,
this gives us a reasonable parsing tool.

In theory it's easy for any reader who wants to parse
trailers to do so. But there are a lot of subtle corner
cases around what counts as a trailer, when the trailer
block begins and ends, etc. Since interpret-trailers already
has our parsing logic, let's let callers ask it to just
output the trailers.
They still have to parse the "key: value" lines, but at
least they can ignore all of the other corner cases.

Allow using non-default values for trailers without having to set
them up in .gitconfig first. For example, if you have the following
configuration
trailer.signed-off-by.where = end
you may use "--where before" when a patch author forgets his
Signed-off-by and provides it in a separate email. Likewise for
--if-exists and --if-missing
Reverting to the behavior specified by .gitconfig is done with
--no-where, --no-if-exists and --no-if-missing.

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`.

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".

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.

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.
