does not forbid it. However, there are a few things to keep in
mind.
-. 'git commit' and 'git commit-tree' issue
+. `git commit` and `git commit-tree` issue
a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look
like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your
project uses a legacy encoding. The way to say this is to
help other people who look at them later. Lack of this header
implies that the commit log message is encoded in UTF-8.
-. 'git log', 'git show', 'git blame' and friends look at the
+. `git log`, `git show`, `git blame` and friends look at the
`encoding` header of a commit object, and try to re-code the
log message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. You can
specify the desired output encoding with
ifdef::git-commit[]
--s::
+`-s`::
endif::git-commit[]
---signoff::
---no-signoff::
+`--signoff`::
+`--no-signoff`::
Add a `Signed-off-by` trailer by the committer at the end of the commit
log message. The meaning of a signoff depends on the project
to which you're committing. For example, it may certify that
leadership of the project to which you're contributing to
understand how the signoffs are used in that project.
