Re: [PATCH-v2/RFC 3/6] xutils: fix ignore-all-space on incomplete line

Quoting Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]

-- >8 -- cut here -- >8 -- 
Subject: [PATCH] Teach mailinfo to ignore everything before -- >8 -- mark

This teaches mailinfo the scissors -- >8 -- mark; the command ignores
everything before it in the message body.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <redacted>

There are left handed people whose scissors run in the wrong direction.
