+  // last outside what `git interpret-trailers` and `git log --format=%(trailers)`

+  // every paragraph and recovers all of them, which is the whole point of the
+  // SPEC §2.4 grammar and is what the D3 repair relies on.
+  //
+  // So this warns rather than refusing. Refusing would disable the repair for
+  // the common case -- most branches carry more than one record -- to prevent a
+  // loss that is real for other tooling and not for this one. What the report
+  // asked for is that it stop being silent: the draft reads correctly, and
