[PATCH v11 0/2] [GSOC] trailer: add new .cmd config option

["ZheNing Hu via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

In https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqv99i4ck2.fsf@gitster.g/ Junio and
Christian talked about the problem of using strbuf_replace() to replace
$ARG:

 1. if the user's script has more than one $ARG, only the first one will be
    replaced, which is incorrected.
 2. $ARG is textually replaced without shell syntax, which may result a
    broken command when $ARG include some unmatching single quote, very
    unsafe.

Now pass trailer value as $1 to the trailer command with another
trailer.<token>.cmd config, to solve these above problems.

We are now writing documents that are more readable and correct than before.
