This may be a question more for Zhening than for you, but is the
above a typo for "git commit -s", not "command"?

This is inherited from the original, but it is a poor practice to
run "cat" on a single file and pipe the result to another command.
Just redirect from the file into the downstream command instead,
i.e.

    $ git interpret-trailers <empty-msg.txt

Perhaps we should do that as a preliminary clean-up before these
updates?
