+ Specify a (<token>, <value>) pair that should be applied as a
+ trailer. (e.g. `git commit --trailer "Signed-off-by:C O Mitter \
+ <committer@example.com>" --trailer "Helped-by:C O Mitter \
+ <committer@example.com>"` will add the "Signed-off-by" trailer

+ a duplicated trailer is omitted, where in the run of trailers
+ each trailer would appear, and other details.
