Existing trailers are extracted from the input message by looking for a group of one or more lines that (i) is all trailers, or (ii) contains at least one Git\-generated or user\-configured trailer and consists of at least 25% trailers\&. The group must be preceded by one or more empty (or whitespace\-only) lines\&. The group must either be at the end of the message or be the last non\-whitespace lines before a line that starts with \fI\-\-\-\fR (followed by a space or the end of the line)\&. Such three minus signs start the patch part of the message\&. See also \fB\-\-no\-divider\fR below\&.

-When reading trailers, there can be whitespaces after the token, the separator and the value\&. There can also be whitespaces inside the token and the value\&. The value may be split over multiple lines with each subsequent line starting with whitespace, like the "folding" in RFC 822\&.
+When reading trailers, there can be no whitespace before or inside the token, but any number of regular space and tab characters are allowed between the token and the separator\&. There can be whitespaces before, inside or after the value\&. The value may be split over multiple lines with each subsequent line starting with at least one whitespace, like the "folding" in RFC 822\&.

Note that \fItrailers\fR do not follow and are not intended to follow many rules for RFC 822 headers\&. For example they do not follow the encoding rules and probably many other rules\&.
