Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: remove redundant 'instead' in --subject-prefix

From: Lucas Seiki Oshiro <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 13:34:42 -0300

The documentation for --subject-prefix has two words "instead" in
the same sentence, making it a little bit confusing to read.

Change the order of the phrase to a more natural "Use [...]
instead of [...]" structure.
