I happened to be reading an old discussion on trailers a few weeks ago,
and the idea was mentioned of providing access to commit trailers in a
more structured way from traversal commands. E.g., we could presumably
have a log pretty-format for showing "Signed-off-by", like
"%(trailer:signed-off-by)" or something. But that opens up a lot of
questions, like the exact formatting, whether we would allow wildcards
("*-by:"), and if so how that affects formatting.So I took the cowards way out and implemented trailer support for git-shortlog, which seemed much simpler. I'll admit I haven't used it for anything so far beyond a few "fun" queries, but it does provide some infrastructure we could use later for git-log. And things being what they are, I ended up with a few cleanups and optimizations along the way. After this series, a regular "shortlog -ns" is about 10% faster.
